Picked up the rear end, only paid $75 for it! Posi with 3.23s but will probably swap them out for 3.73s. Gotta swap the disc brakes from my old one. Also started on the bedsides. Surprised to find all the rust. Thinking about only cutting off 8" off the bad sides (9" off the frame). The extra inch will bring it a little closer to the back of the cab to fill that void a bit.
