...some pics. 
Over the winter I started teardown, cleaning, painting, and overhaul of my 3/4 ton axles. All new seals, brakes, ball joints, and a couple bearings here and there. During that time I've found some good deals on used parts here on CK5 and my local c-list.
Front 8 lug 10b 4.10s all done, stock shafts modded for full circle clips. In the little cardboard box is a used lockright I purchased from a CK5er and the powdercoated shiny black diff cover also from a CK5er.
Rear 8 lug 14bsf 4.10s open diff going back together. I have a matching powdercoated shiny black diff cover for this also from the same CK5er I got the front cover from.
Found a set of 5 H2 wheels on my local c-list, came with 4 bald tires and the 5th spare BFG A/T which never touched the street and always had the tire cover on it. Paid $400 for the set and was happy cause that saved me from buying 5 tires to have a full sized spare.
And my nephew, who bought my 2500HD last fall, just sent me a lump payment. So, I bought a set of 35x12.5R17 BFG KM2s to go on the H2s for $1250
And I recently found this set from a local CK5er, 4" TC front HD springs slightly used with greasable bolts/bushings and shackles. And the used ORD rear shackle flip. All for $200!
Now I have to call ORD for the rest of the odds and ends to get it all together.

The stock spring perches on the rear 14bsf axle pretty much pointed the pinion directly up to the t-case. This is something I never checked while the axle was in the truck it came out of nor while it sat idle in the garage. So, I never had a new rear d-shaft in the build plan. I went to a local place (Capeway Bearing in Plymouth, if you're around here) and had them make up a new shaft with a slip yoke CV at the front. $350 and a couple days later I picked up the new shaft and had it in last night after work. Took it for a drive and all is well so far. Even got a random
