ended up finding the wheel bearings were loose, so packed all the wheel bearings, packed the cv's, figured out why one of the hubs wouldn't unlock, and replaced some of the fasteners that hold the hubs on.
Now on to the rear. Had two broken studs on the bottom of the housing that hold in the third member. Got the old ones out and installed some bolts from the inside. Looks like I will have to do something about the drain plug pretty soon too, had hell getting a socket on it. The surounding lip is pretty beat up and mushroomed.
When I pulled the pass side drum and all kinds of springs and adjusters fell out. Looks like they were tumbling in there for a while.
I may also go ahead and install the 63 inch chevy springs in there while I have it down. I think I will have to build a shock tower through the bed to fit the bilstein shocks I got from rikmil
Once that is done I will have to save up some money and purchase the new birfield axles from bobby long. Then the six shooter knuckles and steering arms and she should be pretty bullet proof......
