That looks sweet.

That is going to look NASTY! Very nice.:thumbsup:

Just ordered my axles and housing ends. Lets hope I got all of the measurements right ! Once I have that stuff and tack the ends to the housing I can mock up the rear suspension.

that looks badass! i hope you leave the "paint" as is

Very cool.:thumbsup:

The paint is going to stay as close to "as is" as possible. There are some spots on the cab at the windshield opening and rear window opening that have some holes I need to fix to make it water tight. The roof seam above the windshield also has some pin hole. The rear lower cab corners will get patched too. I did an experiment to attemp to make rust via a chemical reaction with common household ingredients and it worked well on some steel filings. I have to test it on sheet metal to see what it does. If that doesn't work ok, I'll just prime the patch areas and leave it.

Very cool. That is going to look very awesome.:yes: :thumbsup:

The shipment from Moser arrived today. Here's the axles, bearings, retainer plates, housing ends & T bolts. The Gleason Torsen diff was an ebay score. It's new but has some light surface rust.
