I gave you your parts, back does that count?:D
 
Today I had to work late again. But I borrowed the socket to take off the front hubs. So I removed the front hubs/rotors, and back plates from the 10b and the D44. I'l going to wait till I get the D44 on the truck to remove the knuckle to be machined. I'm hoping to drop the 10b out tomorrow, and get the D44 in.
 
Well I pulled the 10B out today and removed the zero rates. I'm going to center the front axel on the springs now. I also removed the steering arm off the D44 and moved it under the RK. I would have mounted it up, but I need to get new center pins for the springs.

I lost the camera somewhere, so I didn't get to take any pics.

Today I figured out I would like it on the road. There are alot of places I can take it around here, but not worth putting on a trailer. So it will be on the very edge of legal. I'm going to stay with the D44/14B for some time, and go with crossover steering.
 
Monday I mounted up the D44, then started to remove the knuckles. But someone lost my fork. So I rolled the tires under her, and jacked her up to the right level. So here is what she will look like oneday.

Yea the tires motivated me. But time and $ are the problem right now.

I tried to get the knuckle off without a fork, but I think the rust is whats killing me.
