minor update. Traded an old ranger pickup I had for some parts. Got an IFS rear end, w56 trans w/a fwd shift case, and a set a wheels and tires. Rear end needs a rebuild, budy had it apart to do so, but gave up on it. Debating on a Disc conv. cause regardless the brake need total rebuild. 3rd mem is in good shape, going to put some new bearings in. Pic soon, but the 3rd mem my buddy had in the front of his truck and pinion pre-load was F-up and would let the pinion grind into the carrier when in reverse, and the shocker is, no major damage, just going to smooth it out and run it i think. I'll get the pic up, and ya'll let me know what u think?
Now all I need is a front axle and top-shift case. then get my A$$ moving!
