Re: Two Steps back. My high school chevy 1950 3100

My shop stool wanted to try out being a proctologist. It didn't go so well.

But back to the work.

putting the 5th member in proved to be more difficult than I had expected. I ****ed up one very costly gasket the first time around. I ordered another gasket and used my hoist to help lift and align the 5th remember.
Another option I didn't consider before struggling with it would be to install the 5th member in the rear end with it off the truck and just rotating the rear end so that the studs on the pumpkin are facing up. I think that would help with alignment. I imagine it will be a wrench throwing frustration doing any of this under the truck in the future.

Also installed the axles and rear wilwood brakes.
