okay, where did we leave off?
when installing the 60 series steering box onto a 40 series you need a 7* series drag link and new 7* tie rod end and the 4* series at the cross link. this allows for a non-welded steering install. SWEET!!
<thanks again Bruce>
all in all a nice clean install. more on this at time of reinstall.

now to remove the axles and old springs.
it is easier to just torch the old ubolts off. but be carefull not to cut into the housings.
also on older (decades old) spring busings and pins it is easier to just heat the end of the spring red hot and the bushing will melt. this breaks the bond between the bushing and the pin... bang bang and the pin is out.

next, this frame had the Wayne special lift. a true 3" lift that kept the caster and camber at stock calibration. this lift was 11 years old and it was a bitch to remove. of course care had to be taken not to damage the frame. the fixed end spring perches are being reused.
