Keave the interior out. The rest is pulled apart when you get here. It's all been apart, so it will not be a big isdue to tear it down. 2 weeks start to finish. Then drive it home.
Hardest thing about that would be getting the time off and affording it all at once.
I could be a motivational speaker.
We will see, I don't want to deal and interrupt her party.
And I told you with all the spatter I get no nekkid welds
Party is over at the mother in laws house.

Get the brackets on. You are wasting time.

Brackets are kind of on, Just haven't been having the best of days lately. Feeling burned out and now I hear my days off are getting shortened makes it worse...
It seems when I have the pinion pointed up at the transfer case of 7 degrees there is a small gap on the 4 link brackets for the leaf spring pad. Chris, do you guys recommend installing a leaf spring shim in the middle of this?
Also what is the best place to measure pinion at? I get two different readings at these spots.

Pinion angle would be on the face of the yoke.
What do you mean face of the yoke?
Is it bad I took a flap disk to the C's of the axle and made them smooth?
I really have a problem.

Take the ujoint sraps off. Turn yoke so joint surfaces are verticle. Set indicator in the yoke.
Gotcha, I hope I'm not far off I already tacked the drivers side.
These are where those instructions come in handy you asked about Wade.

Being burnt out means you need more shop time. Burnt out is a feeling you get you don't get Alot of accomplishments. The more things you accomplish, the less burnt out you are. This is because you end up being rewarded for your work when you see progress.

Also remember as icehouse said, it does take some grinding of the brackets to get them to sit right. That they don't just fall into place.

Also, and this is a sincere offer, you can ship the truck and all the parts up to me and I will finish the truck for you free of charge and guarantee its done 30 days before bb14. Just letting you know.
That is true I'm bored at work can't get into it... It's not even a challenge anymore. It really is awful.
That is true they do fit pretty good but needed bit massaging.
For awhile this was the only happy place was working on it. Today after a few hours i got bored.

It comes and goes.
Just did the math. To fly me Down there, rent a u haul and trailer, would be $950 plus gas. I'll even buy my own food.

Before anyone says anything I'm not giving up on the truck. I have wanted this to long a d I'm seeing it through.
