Today I officially have a roller! I got the rear axle in, but I have not completely torqued the u bolts down yet. It definitely looks like the drive shaft would not be lined up, but when I measure from the edge of the wheel or a hub to a reference point on the frame its only 1/2" or less difference. So I need to do some research on centering the rear end. This is my first time doing all of this

I also completed all of the steering today including mounting the power steering box.

Thanks to MMcMasters for the idea of building a dolly for the cab! I completed this last night.
