New parts keep arriving. Didn't realize until this afternoon that one of the universal joints is a different size than the others. Looks like the driveshafts were modified at some point.

I took a trip to the parts store and bought new seals for the rearend, along with new rear drums, wheel cylinders, and all the other rear brake parts.

I spent the day cleaning the grease and dirt off the rearend prepping to paint. I hope to install the new seals and paint it tomorrow. Well, paint the majority of it anyway. I'm going to paint the center section up to the trailing arms. I'll finish the rest when the pivots for the trailing arms I built come in.
