*$#@!!!! the wheel bearings don't fit the spindles or the rotors!!! GAHHHH!!!!!

Got the steering linkage hooked up, but unless we can find some bearings that will work with my rotors the truck isn't going anywhere...litterally. If we can find bearings that will work and I have to buy new rotors I just hope they're 5 lug so we can use my buddy's wheels off his 87 to at least roll the truck into his side yard and out of his driveway.

Oh yeah...any I can't get my &*$^ing grease gun off one of the zerk fittings....not a good morning so far....

ETA: Looks like the parts store gave me the wrong parts. My dad says he got the correct ones now (took a rotor and digital caliper with him to the store) so hopefully these will work.....more to follow hopefully after the truck is rollable.

On a side note...if any of you have any clue as to why my one brand new outer tie rod isn't tight in the spindle. It's got a bit of vertical play. I just tightened the castle nut enough to be able to get the pin through (that's what I've always been told to do)

ETA2: For anyone wanting to do a disc brake swap....seriously consider just buying the kit. If I were to do it again I sure would...All the running back and forth to the store to exchange faulty/wrong parts for correct ones has totally killed any cost savings, both in regards to money and time, I would have had.
