Awesome, thanks a bunch. I'll send shipping costs tomorrow.
I found a 10 bolt for $100, I think I'll pick that up and start doing all the work on it, then when I'm ready I can just swap it over.
For a hundred, it seems worth it to me, I can take my time and don't have to worry about the truck being down.

Should be able to recover that $100 when you sell your original axle
Sounds like a plan!
Love this thing.

It is good lookin!
This is the locker I need for my 14 bolt, correct? I ask because man, the prices vary wildly online. Also, if anyone knows of a better deal than $434?

That's the one
I usually troll through Fleabay just to see if there's a better deal.
Sometimes there are rebate tags available as well
Cool, thanks. 4 wheel parts is literally a hundred bucks more than summit, it just seemed weird to me.
No that's normal. I rarely buy from them
Did you check ORD and some of the other vendors who frequent here?
Did your rusty parts show up?

I guess I don't know. I only check the mail about once a week or so.

My replacement steering brace came in yesterday, so that's cool.
My list right now:
Rotors, Pads, Calipers for 10 bolt 8 lug.
4:10 gears with install kit for 10 bolt
Machine passenger knuckle for crossover
2WD steering box
Crossover kit
Install Spartan (already have it)
Rear Shackle Flip
Remove spring pads from 14 Bolt (and clean it up, go through brakes)
New spring pads, U bolts, spring plate
Detroit Locker for 14 Bolt
Buy 8 lug wheels.
I think that's the major list.

You will need to buy a flat top knuckle before you can have a knuckle machined for flat top.
I also have one of those.....

Well, I have a call out for a complete 10 bolt so I can do all this stuff off the truck. He hasn't gotten back with me, but I have seen lots of 6 lug 10 bolts, not really worried about finding one.
