Beautiful!!
I'm running junkyard front shafts, no new U joints or zerk fittings.
I did that once (ONCE!)with a Driveshaft Ujoint. I took it out and flipped it around and it was good.

That's just rust kill red. If it's still stock it gets rust kill black, slightly modified gets rust kill red.
So yes, if the red paint prevents rust it will make it stronger.
You should get some 35 spline shafts.

35 splines? Is that from a Dana 60?
Just get some 1480 u joints

They're just kidding. None of that would fit on the half ton front axle without serious modifications and custom work.

Well in that case Bazinga! It's not a 1/2 ton, it's a Dana 44 brah!
Not much progress, just cleaned up the outer C and pressed in the new Ball Joints.
...And it's raining.
I have lots off half ton Dana 44's.
The 35 spline joke was that you should get a Dana 60.

I haven't seen one in the junkyard yet.
I'll get one as soon as I can afford it.
I spent the last hour trying to get my mangled spindle bearing out.
What a pain in the arse!

Slide hammer wit the 3 fingers dude. Got mine out in seconds
It was the siezed bearing racer that I couldn't get out.

Those things are over rated anyway. 
Suprised you have this much carnage with 35s.
Maybe those chromos in my 10b were doing more than I though they were

I think that he runs junkyard shafts and joints is the reason for carnage.
IMO Paul, save for chromos and spicer joints and be done for a long while
My old 10 bolt never busted ball joints or spindle bearings.
I've only gone on 2 trips with this axle.
I'll be looking for a 60 and some hub caps soon.
