Looking good Jon.

What are you doing for exhaust in the rear? There's really no room back there to go over the axle, beside factory style which kills tire clearance.

I'm open to suggestions, but realistically I was thinking of dumping in front of rear tires but with rectangle tips. What's your thought of going under the axle?

I think I would go with dumping in front of the rear tires.

After looking at it again, airbags and rear sway bar make it impossible to get anything over the axle.
Thanks Mark, and Happy New Year

I am about to post up a build thread on that 61 we did. I had to kick it out before the back tire.

Where did you get that saw?

Brand new rear end from Moser Engineering, bought it un-assembled via miscommunication I guess, but in the end it did save me around $350. Anyway I opened the case containing the third member and now I'm getting a little aggravated. Is it possible that moisture in the assembly lube can cause this much rust. I'm thinking they should take this one back and send me a new one, price paid doesn't warrant a rusty part.
I'd like your thoughts, am I being ridiculous?

I'd like to add the ups driver brought everything into my garage the day it arrived, I made sure my wife was home for the delivery. I'm thinking somehow this thing got fairly wet before during shipment, not my problem. You agree?

Well.... it is RAW cast iron (or Nodular Iron).... and that little bit of rust won't hurt anything... And you're most likely going to paint it??

I don't know... what I'd do - but I'd probably just clean it up and roll with it.

I had one come in like that. from condensation. As long as the bearings and seal surfaces are ok you should be good but I would call your sales person and see if it left the warehouse like that. They may exchange it. Why pay X amount to just have to pull rust remover treatment.
