Progress report: I've been working on rebuilding the front end on my truck.
Took it down to an empty housing; and built it back up from there.
Regeared it to 3:73s, upgraded it to the large bearing hub & spindles, larger axles, all new bearings, seals, ball joints, axle joints, new locking hub parts, brakes and paint.

Thanks, now I need to get the other side together and get the truck rolling again.

Looking good. Fender clearance seems a a bit tight for up travel. One of the reasons I clearanced my fenders for the larger tires.

It's an optical illusion, just the angle of the picture, there's actually good clearance.
I noticed that after I posted the pic.

I have a set of 15" rally rims but they don't fit over the rear disc brakes, so no plans on using them anytime soon.

Thanks...
I've been giving a bit of a push on it lately, but my back limits me as to how much I can do.
Getting cortisone shots next Wednesday, hopefully that will give me some relief...

Finally got her back on all 4's and rolling again, after a few months of completely rebuilding both front & rear diffs and adding disc brakes to the rear.
