In the middle of my axle swap; hmm

That's sweet. Not sure I'm going to prime and paint mine though...

It's overrated.

I meant the Disc's, tho.

Why? In any event, my drums we're spent and I got loaded calipers for $18. Don't see how I could've spent less by replacing the original brakes.

It's fun, when you get to this point...

what paint did you use for the olive drab?

I did this recently and found my hubs were cracked from too much RTV being used to seal the axle flange back on the hub. Make sure the bolt holes in the hub are clear of any old RTV. RTV wont compress much and when you torque the flange bolts you can crack the hub. I have photo proof.lol After they are clean and you put things back together only put a light coat on the flange gasket and try not to get much in the bolt holes.

Just gotta do the brake lines and it's ready to go up in the truck.
