Cleaned up the mating surfaces, put on a high quality gasket sealer, and wrestled up the 4.55 3rd member into place, and put the floating axles back in...Yes!

You're going from a grandma rear end gear to a younger grandma rear end gear...

You're right...It'll help just a little, but at least they'll match and I'm using up parts I have on hand. Decreasing my stockpile is also a goal in this build.

Too much bling on the motor...yes, they are left over parts, but one has to do what they gotta do...stay tuned.

That’s better!

I worked on a problem with my steering today. The mechanism was hitting the leaf springs on a hard turn. The power steering sector was off of my ‘71 K20.

I went back to the donor truck (Blue Beast), and made the manual steering sector work on Dolly. No power steering, but full turning will happen.
