Welcome to the club! I agree with what everyone else has stated. Get it running and see what problems it has before you start modifications. Cruisers tips are a must.
I can see what you asked about it every time. Very nice truck you have there. Sounds like your had a great faster in law! Sorry to hear about the loss.

So last week the truck developed a noise. It was definitely rotational sounding and only between 8-13 MPH. I was sure it was a u joint so I changed the only two that weren't already new. They were in the rear drive shaft and we're the only ones I hadn't replaced yet.
Out with the drive shaft.
A ball joint press makes u joints easy. IMHO
O'reilly's actually stocked Spicer yay.
Everything went back together quite nice. Took it for a drive and still have the gremlin. So the 6 year old and I took out the front drive shaft. He was beyond proud of himself. I only had to break then lose and he did the rest. It was a great day except the gremlin was still there. So I give the WK to work this week. To say the least this was driving me slightly crazy. So off to try and get the nose pin pointed. After finding the perfect wall to bounce the noise off my new guess was the right front hub. So I got a Timken from Rock Auto.
Hopefully this will be better than the Moog!
It all came apart nicely. Antisieze is an amazing product!
In with the new. Hopefully it last more than a few thousand miles.
Back together and no more noise!!
It really like me that a Moog hub only lasted a few thousand miles and a couple years. I guess live and learn.
Happy to be driving it again!
His symptoms were the flu pretty much and his taste was wonky. He slept a couple days and was back to mostly normal. Everyone else got tested and we're negative. I just donated blood and they are antibody test for free so that could be interesting.
Iowa is currently mask free. A few business have signs up still but not enforced. Kids are still required to wear a mask to school. They have gone full school all year. My oldest tested positive but no one else in the house got it.
