Thanks Guys! It's been fun so far. Mike, Kelly says Hi!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] OK, so onto the rear axle removal. The donor axle internals were in pretty rough shape, and the 49's were in surprisingly good shape. So, I swapped out gears and such and was able to make a single rear out of two. I measured about eleven times before tack welding the perches in. Then, knowing me, and knowing I always need that one little extra check, I measured again and everything seemed to line up. Hey, what's the worse that can happen? Severe drivetrain vibration? Offset wheels in the well? A skewed axle resulting in an unsafe truck? Well, sure? But seriously, what's the worse that can happen?!!?!? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] After that was done, I mounted up the disk brake kit from CPP. I also added tube shocks all around and ditched the lever style actuators.
