Just a few crappy pics of parts destined for the seahorse.

Half ton Dana 44 with 3.73s and a few Hickey parts. Wish I could find some HE diff covers for the Dana 44 and the 12 Bolt. I'm going to see if I can get these axles in tomorrow.

Some ugly white wagon wheels to roll this thing around on after I put the half ton axles in and before I buy the wheels I want.

I'm thinking some 16x8 Black Rock Yumas like these.

The theme of this suburban is going to be "light weight". That's why I decided on the half ton axles. I also picked up a passenger drop NP241C to bolt up to the NV4500. Its amazing how much lighter the NP241 is than an NP205, not to mention the low range gearing.
