Kinda slept in a little today, didn't make it to the shop till late morning. However, once I got there I went like gangbusters finishing up assembling the Dana 60. Went to put on a brake drum and found that the machine shop guy had boogered up the round protrusion on the end of the axle when he pressed on the new bearings, meaning the brake drum wouldn't seat, so I spent some time with a hand file cleaning that up. Got the drums on, bolted on the crappy wheels/tires that were on the truck when I got it, and then rolled it outside, hosed it down and wiped it off so I could take a few pics. It seemed to generate a little interest from passersby, and even had one old guy pull in for a few minutes to talk trucks and check out the handiwork.
Well, anyway....I have a bunch more pics that I'll post to a new webpage later this evening, after I take a shower. Just thought I'd get this one pic up before hosing down.
I even think my wife is starting to get into it a little. She's gone from total apathy towards the project to commenting "It's really starting to look good!"
