I haven't worked on it much in the last few months, but I'm in the mood to make some more progress so I will be working on it quite a bit this winter.

Things I've been working on:
1. Installing Inline Tube stainless brake lines and braided brake hoses
2. Replaced u-joints on front axles
3. Installed knuckles (new MOOG ball joints installed)
4. Shocks
5. Fuel lines

Basically stuff that doesn't show much progress lol. But it needs to be done and I guess it all adds up at the end of the day.

Things on my current "To Do" List
1. Finish putting the front end together, where I can have a rolling chassis
2. Re seal steering gear and paint
3. Clean, prep, and paint motor and trans
4. Install motor, trans, and transfer case
5. Replace u-joints in both drive lines, paint, and install
6. Install core support, radiator, battery tray ect...

Re: Project 6 Point Oh

It might be worth mentioning.
If you will put anti-seize on these cones (inside them too), before you tighten the arm to the knuckle, it will them make a lot easier to remove them in the future.
The can be a pain in the butt if they are rusted to the bolt and arm.

Re: Project 6 Point Oh

My main hold up on the front axle is, I forgot to order the spindle (needle) bearings and seals. They should be here in a few days, then I can get the front axle finished. I just remembered I need to fill the diff up with 85/140 gear oil.
