Just got my axle from carpart.com. took longer to arrive than they said and then it was damaged! They are sending me a new one but the project is delayed.

After my battery went dead and left me hanging I replaced the battery and alternator. Back up and running. Also got some goodies in the mail.

Its resting place while I swap the front axles. I work all weekend so hopefully monday or Tuesday I can get the front done. Also got the fenders trimmed. I think I did a terrible job but oh well. I can clean it up later.

Waiting on some safety washers to complete the front end. Barrowed a welder so tomorrow I am going to attempt to weld on the new perches.

awe i c. interested to see how that welder does on it. I'd say add some welds around the axle tubes at center section but not sure that welder would be suffice. nothing else get it tack welded then heat it up with torch then burn it in.

The truck is back on her feet again. My wife will be helping me bleed the brakes this afternoon then it's off to get the alignment done tomorrow. 

 

I messed up and should have changed the gear oil in the dana 30 before I swapped it in now I'll have to do it in place. Got a new gasket coming for it and the 8.8

 

Progress is slow but happening. Next up will be pulling the rear axle.
