Finally tore into the runner this week. Another ifs hits the scrap pile
frame all cleaned up. Waiting for shipment to arrive, which has frame stiffener plates and shock hoops. I hope to get to bun in some metal this week.
The list:
Set jigs/ drill shackle holes
Set and burn in front spring hanger
Install springs
Mock up axle/build (30 spline longs, 5:29 with Detroit locker, axle service kit provided by marlin crawler)
Shocks and mounts (bilstein 5125's 14") marlin new shock hoops
Make up new driveshaft
Swap out 21 spline tcase input to a marlin 23spline input
Install dual tcases 2.28/4.7
After that I need to address the rear. Currently sitting on coils, need to swap in some leafs
Was thinking about ford leafs for the rear the measure much shorter than the chevy 60's
