Tires are in the house. I’ll have to mount them to get a good measurement to see how they measure up in true size. They look good.

Starting on the easy end and moving forward.
I’m a fan of well adjusted rear drums. These things do the job and if you spend the money and get new parts they will dial in.
One bit of Drum Brake Tech I learned from JimC when doing my 45 was to make sure the new cylinders have sloped adjustment heads and if not, farm the ones off the old.
that allows the shoe to hit the drum evenly.
Don’t forget to install your axle shaft and then load on the shoes.

Random shots. Slide hammer attachment came in and new seals and bearings are in tight.
Tech tip. Put the bearings in the freezer. That’s a tight fit and the shrinkage makes it much easier. OEM Rear Axle Set pn 27129 has the right remover.

I was going to remove them to clean but that one was not budging so I bailed. All tight now.
I got a call from the trucking company and I took the Goat out to the interstate to meet him for my pallet from @orangefj45
then I went back to the parts pile and found a nice brake line to replace the one I broke. These slobs went along for the ride.

Got the rear all buttoned up except for 90 wt.
The frame end of the hard brake line going into the new SS brake line would not spin so I had to to a flare fitting while under the truck
sucked.
jumped up to get a tool and rammed my old head right into the 4Plus tire holder.
I decided to install the tire as not to do that again.
8 hours. Done for the day.

Without knowing it I did the same thing with my replacement cylinders.
The shoes on my rig were too wide to fit in the new cylinder slots, so I re-used my old ones that have wider slots in addition to having an angle.
I'm glad it's JimC approved.

Ive seen many with the slots and the person had the shoe in backwards. Zero clue.
So many ways to mess up something so simple but you can really tell when you are doing 4 wheel drums. Everything has to be spot on for those damn things to work

Good Morning all.
I love the smell of burning out old bushings in the morning.
Smells like.......victory.

Back 1/2 buttoned up. These are OME CS001R Light rears. There is very little weight on the rear because the position of the front jackstands. That’s why the shackles are not right. I’ll break them in good and they will settle. More on that trick later.
This @lcwizard ubolt flip kit is seriously slick. I’ve never used one but I wish I had. Very nice.
Shocks are the perfect length. Fully stretched I had to push them up about 1-2”

Front suspension is in. I did not get the knuckle centering tool in today. It will land Saturday morning and I can spend the day building this front knuckle out.
Front Springs. OME medium in anticipation of an 8274 up front
Front Shocks via Valley Hybrids @orangefj45
scraping OME stickers. I’m not sure what the hell they use but they need to stop.
Flip kit installed. Ubolts trimmed.
Jacked it up level and rolled the front tires up there for a self gratification photo

I’m with you Nolan on the damn ome stickers, I can install the spring quicker than removing the friggin sticker! As always, great build and documentation
