ok, got a price on a new rear drive line, 130-200 depending on the thickness of tube i want (up to 120 wall) i was thinking about going with thicker tubing but was not sure if that would have adverse affects on the other components. thoughts?

Should be fine. I ran .095 wall I think and it held up pretty good.

Got the pig out I the sun today and rinsed off two years of shop dust. Also cleaned up the shop and gathered some parts to sell.

Looks great

So the front axle knuckles have grease slowly coming out of the bottom, I'm guessing sitting for two years in a shop that freezes and heats up has kinda liquefied it enough to settle at the bottom and seep out? Thoughts on this? It doesn't have axle oil in it, just bright red clean grease. It's a pretty fresh rebuild.

I've never wheeled a truck, so I can't compare. But these are much more top heavy.

So stupidest thing happened, the radiator sprung a leak while sitting the the shop!

must have gotten frozen, but it had antifreeze in it so im not sure....

walked into the shop and there was coolant on the floor. im going to put water in it and see where the leak is and then take it to a local radiator shop and see what they can do or its about $200 for a new one

i also have one up in the shed i was going to take in and have them look at to see if the could repair it as well.
