Sh1t. Nothing else to say but sh1t. That just went from a pinion seal job to a rearend on sawhorses rebearing job.

I'm dead broke right now and dropping 2 to 3 bills on a bearing kit ain't gonna happen for a little while. I'm frustrated. Gonna have to walk away for a few days and reset my head.

I see that that is a 9.5" 14 bolt now, any chance that someone is parting a truck or selling a 10.5" 14 bolt on craigslist? Up here they can be scrounged for less than that bearing kit if one is patient. I realize it will probably take a little $ in one of them as well, but might find one that will take less $, leaving you with something greater in the end.
