It was miserable! Rained all day, i was soaked through winter coveralls and insulated pants to my underwear. I was workin in a huge puddle. I learned nothing, couldnt find the culprit. I used to have a sticker that said "i miss my ex but my aim is improving" lol

Same with me. Snowing all day but it was 38 and everything was melting. I was soaked!

I will say one thing about your rear. That pinion is reeeeeaaaaaly worn. It's lived a good life.

Yours should be good. I just tossed the posi in with all the same shims and stuff, didnt check the mesh or anything. Then the pinion seal blew and i neglected it and ran outta oil. I pretty much set it up to fail.

Heres a note to everyone doing a rear swap... if you buy new u bolts always check they have nuts!!! The ones i bought didnt have them and 9/16-18 nuts are a MF to find!!!

This a parts swap or are you planning on running two different bolt patterns?


Also, what kind of truck is hauling this? The visibility out the rear window doesn't look very good with all that black plastic window frame happening.
