Will do. I'm going to go get it tomorrow, then I'll check it out to see if it's going to need brakes or seals or??? I'll probably try to throw it in Saturday morning.

Sweet Dennis, that's awesome!!! I'm digging that color BTW!

OK, so I sorta rigged up some tailpipes last night. They actually turned out pretty decent. I tripped across the tailpipes off my old 03 a couple days ago in my steel pile. I replaced them with a 3" single system when I put the blower on it. I forgot I had them!

They are the same size, 2.25", and have the 4" x 20-something inch tips on them. I managed to get them to look fairly even coming straight out the back about frame width.

Fred sounds SOOOOO much better now!! :metal: I don't like it when the exhaust just dumps over the axle or before the axle. Don't like the sound, and it just seems incomplete. It actually sounds real good now, and I love the deep rumble that those big tips make. I was going to put Flows on soon, but this sounds and looks good enough to hold me over until next year at least.

I'm going to go pick up the rear end at lunch today! :metal:

OK, so I didn't get the rear end at lunch, but I'll be leaving work in about 20 minutes to go get it.

I sold some more parts today, so I have enough for a couple new tires now. :metal:

Did you get the cover off the new rear end to see what type of carrier it is?

I know it has 30-spline axles but it could have a gov-bomb or a clutch type posi carrier or even be an open carrier.

Been driving it every day since Saturday! I have over 500 miles on him so far, and just finished the second tank of fuel this morning about a mile away from work. The $25 Shell card I got from my debit card rewards points filled up the driver tank a couple days ago, so the third tank will be free to drive on. :metal:

Haven't touch it yet, it's still in the bed, but I'm pretty sure it's an open carrier.

Well good grief, Charlie Brown!!! Not one parts store in this town seems to carry more than 2 wheel studs at a time! Not even the tire shops! :banghead:

So I'll guess I'll just go get all new lug nuts. At least I know Big-O has both sizes that I need.

I was at least able to get a diff cover gasket, gear oil, and a couple cans of brake cleaner. I'll pull the cover tonight and check the internals out. Then tomorrow after I get the spring pads and shock mounts welded on, I'll put the diff cover back on and fill with lube. The diff gasket seems to be the only thing that leaked, so I didn't get axle seals for now.
