Got my rearend back! (Official build-up thread now )

Well, I picked up the rearend from the chassis shop, and I'm more than pleased with it.

Here's the specs:
-12 bolt narrowed 5" total
-Powertrax locker unit with 3.43 gears
-Moser hardened axles (stock spline count)
-3" screw in studs (both 4.75 & 5" bolt patterns)
-New axle tube ends (these things accept stock brakes, but they allow me to run the Ford 9" bearing, so I don't have to run a C-clip eliminator)


Today was my last final exam for class, so I actually had the ability to hit the garage, and I found myself wanting to tinker with the welder. Today was my first day learning how to weld (teaching myself, by the way) and I came up with this nifty little stand for the rearend.

Anyhow... on to the pics!
