Just want to say thank you to everyone. The help, the information is so valuable. Makes it fun and easier when working on these trucks
I finally installed the rear end 14 bolt semi float. I ended up going with 4.56 gears and thought about keeping the 33’s but decided on 35’s last second. Love it.
Changed the rear leaf spring bushings with ORD. Bilstein shocks.
The rear rides smooth and firm.
Now to tackle the front axle. Just recently swapped the leak power steering pump and hoses
New tom woods driveshaft
New hard rear brake lines.
Had the rear panels redone in 1/4 inch Masonite. Found a shop that will wrap them for $180
This forums is great. Really appreciate all the help
Will take more pics
