Wanted to start this thread to keep track of my build. Just trying to get the truck rolling again. I'm not looking to make it perfect, just want to enjoy driving it again.
Rear Full-floating Axle Housing
I've already installed a cable locker in the front axle. I'm currently working on installing the locker in the rear axle. I made copies of the parking brake cable brackets and welded them to the correct location of the full floater. Also, I welded the bracket for the cable locker cover (where the new bolt is screwed in place). Since the axle came with sway bar brackets and the breather is located on the opposite side, I'm assuming the axle came off a truck or troop carrier. I've removed the sway bar brackets and the original breather can easily be plugged while one on the opposite side is drilled/tapped. The axle was sand blasted and painted with POR.
