Can you post a pic of the e-brake pulled up with that arm rest?I previously posted up an arm rest I had installed. It didn't work out. The armrest broke off at the base when I leaned to heavily on it to get something out of the passenger seat. Here is my new new set up:
Here are pictures and Amazon link:

I opened the bottom box and measured it. I cut and inserted a piece of 3/4 inch plywood. This allowed me to bolt it to the console without cracking the bottom portion of the arm rest. I bought it last February and installed it right away. It has held up much better than the first one. It is also more comfortable and doesn't limit the emergency brake travel.

Picked it up last week and got it running again today. Found the issue with the “broken front diff”…drive flange was stripped out. Drives fine with the cdl locked and sounds like a basket of angry cats when unlocked. Ordered some new flanges and then I’ll start working on other items

Yep, when I replace the flanges (they shipped today) I’ll check/repack the bearings and ensure the shafts are not gnarled too.Check the axle shafts too. They are harder metal than the flanges but I have seen them trashed when drive flanges are also trashed.
Cheers

Right!?! You would think the rest of the truck/undercarriage would be a rusty mess, but it’s really confined to the front bumper. Makes me wonder if they sanded the bumper down and repainted it with cheap paint at some point and it just trapped water under the paint. It’s definitely not the factory finish/paint on the bumperPatina bumper
