53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

I went to Moser to get my rear diff shortened on Friday. It was just under 3 hrs one way. I arrived just before 8 am. I tired to snap some pics but I was told that would not be allowed. There where (2) other people dropping stuff off for same day service.

Upon inspection the guy noticed that my axles were gnarled up where the axle bearings ride. This is a common problem for 10-12 bolt rear diffs. I had to have new axles made because they would just chew up my new bearings if I didn't. The bad news is it doubled my overall expenses. I was able to have them drill out the axles to except my lug studs that are matched to the front (7/16-20). This will save me from doing it.

By 12:20 I was back on the road to MI...

Tonight, I finished welded my brackets and I started getting the rearend cleaned up and reassembled.
