Tracy Lee / Flight 59 Nearing the Finish Line

Creating a new thread. Here's a link to the old one started back at the Dawn of Time: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=205030

Condensed Version:
Bought the truck back in '06.
Had a few issues with body, mechanical, and electrical
Did shoddy job on body and I paid thru the nose on that
Bro-in-law took over a year correcting mistakes and re-shot new color
Still need new rear axle housing, bed wood and a fuel cell before I can say "It's done".

A little teaser video for y'all and my YouTube followers:


And a couple of pics of where she stands right now:

Re: Tracy Lee / Flight 59 Nearing the Finish Line

Thanks everyone for the input!

Wheelie, It's a F@rd 9" for now. The axle housing is cracked (been that way for a long time) and I need to either find one from the junkyard or pony up some serious cash for a new one. It's 54 inches flange to flange and you just cant find that size anywhere. I don't know much about rear ends (that doesn't sound right) but I know the axles are splined like a Chevy (?) It has the chevy bolt pattern and the brake parts / drums match up with a 70 Chevelle (per NAPA). I may go GM 12 bolt. Whatever is easier to obtain and costs less. My wife is watching the bank account!!!
