I got all of the "U" bolt nuts broke loose and the "U" bolts free of the trailing arms on the '68. The Dana was sitting under the '70 Chevy pickup that has a '72 GMC leaf spring frame under it, and it was not bolted in. I pulled the Dana out and started cleaning it up and checking it out. I have all new brake parts for it so that will make that part easy.

I have other plans for the '70 Chevy/GMC and put the rear end out of another truck in it this afternoon. I will post about that after I get the '68 done.

The weather has been beautiful here all last week and is supposed to be decent tomorrow but then it is going to start getting colder and rain/snow mix. If that happens things will slow down because I am doing this outside.

That rear diff should give it some decent driving manners.
