Some cool stuff on my work bench tonight. I have some NOS Dana 60 knuckles coming tomorrow also for this front axle build.
Rear Detroit on left and front Detroit on right.
I have the wrong case break on the rear by 100 thou. Anyone with experience in this think about shaving .100 off the ring gear face and essentially converting it to a 4.10 3 series case? I mean why not right?
Alternatively i can shave the ring side race and put a giant shim on the other side to scoot it all over .100.

This is like actual work. I can barely lift the bare housing by myself.
Dana 70 front king pin?

Got the cucv stuff back from the blaster and painted it. I hate doing bumpers especially this one lol.
Cant remember ever seeing one on a 91 grille before. Looks good.

Took all the girls to the drive in tonight.
Looking better and better with every update.
love this upgrade. more beef!
Really like your truck! Especially what you did to restore the interior back to original as possible with what’s available. Good inspiration i just bought an ‘89 V3500 drw crew, pretty clean old man truck, but itll stay stock for the most part. Level the front and maybe a gear vendors. Bout it! Subscribed.
Love this build, just read the entire thing. Building my dream truck right there! You are definitely dropping some coin for a top quality build thats for sure. Ive considered picking up an 80, they pop up on CL every now and then.
Were you saying the ground clearance is better with the 80 vs 70 rear?
What was that front 70 out of?

Thanks guys!
I am trying to build the best thing that I can build. I think the ground clearance talk was about 60 and 70 and putting the 70 in the blazer to wheel. It's just far too large. The 80 is just silly on housing size. Its 72" wide as is too! The 70f came from a 72 dodge w200. That truck had a 70f and a 60 rear lol.

better buy some torqs plus sockets . . .that things got a lot of them bolt heads on it .
Awesome, what tcase?
It came with a bw4447. Not sure what to do with it yet. Still pretty new but it's from a 3500 so it will probably swap in place of a 271 really easily.
G56 meet 205. 205, G56
