My driveshaft will be done today. Ended up getting a custom made one with with joint changed to match the 14 bolt. Cool! The tubing is 3" and of coarse all balanced. I should have pics tonight. I also got the ball joints installed in the right knuckle. It's a heck of alot harder to do by hand!
right on man, good progress!

Just another update. Got stuff on but not tighten down. Tires are on and hopefully not coming off. Need to get the brake lines put on and the other tie rod end but thats about it. Then on to rear spring perches!
Not sure if you can tell from the pics or not but i let one of the liitle guys paint the steering rod! LOL Looks fine to me!

Are you using a frame brace for the box, or is one on there and I can't see it?

There is a weld in brace for the steering box if thats what your talking about. But i didn't do it. So i do plan on going with ORD bolt in also just because i can't trust someone else's welds on this old frame.
