Okay, it's been a while and between work and winter finally deciding to arrive things are moving slowly on the truck. I picked up a wrecked 2012 NPR-HD a couple of weeks ago for what I thought was a bargain price and a semi-local truck salvage company is pulling the parts I want in exchange for the rest of the truck that I don't need.

I'm getting both front and rear axles, all of the steering and all of the brakes. For the brakes that will give me front discs, dual circuit master cylinder, and the vacuum booster. I'll also be able to replace the steering gear/slave cylinder setup on the truck now with modern power steering as well as get more reasonable rear end gearing (5.38:1 rather than the 6.61:1 high range it has currently).

I should be getting the parts in a couple weeks (the shop shut down for the end of the year) and I'll post more when that happens.
