Hey rgunlock. Thanks for checkin back in. I am working on this almost daily so yes definitely making up for lost time. Some day soon though i will have to face the dreaded bodyshop blues again. Hey Daubs! good luck with your build.
Today I picked up my dana44 with 3;73's in it. painted it and next week will get her under the frame. In the mean time I got the Dana 60 bolted in this evening.
Research really paid off. The axle, which came out of a 71 3/4 ton gmc, bolted right in with no issue.
