I have finally had a few rainy days that kept me out of the fields, so I have got a few things tied up on the rig. Here are a couple pics of the rear axle from clean up to welding in the disk brake brackets through install. Turned out quite well in my opinion.
I went with the Moser Alloys for replacements and got all that reinstalled and the disk brakes bolted up.
I picked up the drive train a few weeks back and got it home just fine
and after a quick steam cleaning
What really sucks is that I bought a LS conversion kit from CPP and they sent me the right tranny cross member and the motor stands, but sent me the wrong poly mounts that are for a small block but dont have the adapter plates for the LS...and they wont admit to their mistake or stand behind it since I discovered it after 10 days.... so I am going to have to make my own mounting plates and have decided to discontinue any future business with them..
