Got another one. This ones good until you're running around the yard barefoot with sparklers in each hand. 303423535253246176

G80 is removed and Yukon limited slip is in its place. All new carrier and pinion bearings plus pinion seal of course. Backlash set at .006 with the original 3.73 gears. I’ll do the wheel bearings and seals after paint.

I was looking through past posts in this thread to see if I had replaced the rear wheel bearings already or not (I had not). I noticed this from way back in page 2. Part of me wants to laugh because I knew 5 years ago that I’d be doing what I’m doing today, but part of me is also proud to be...

Yesterday I got everything except the rear axle painted. Today I’ll be swapping bearings and the diff in the axle before getting it ready for paint.

Looks great! What wood is that, maple?

Nice bowling alley 😅

Got another one. Expires 6/27/25. 302770688253246176

Wow, I haven't seen your name on here in a while, though I probably just missed you since I don't "hang out" in the other areas as much as I used to. I would like to fully box the frame, but that would require me re-engineering all of the crossmembers as well, and that isn't something I'm...

The driver quarter panel is getting some rust coming through from the inside (the Rust Belt strikes again!!) so I get to do some rust repair on this vehicle sooner rather than later. I looked into buying a whole quarter panel from GM for $800+ and having that replaced professionally, but decided...

I had last week off, so my plan was to sandblast the frame, then paint the frame and hopefully start reassembly. I didn’t expect to have to spend 30 hours just sandblasting, so that’s pretty much all I got done. It was a lot of pieces though, so I guess it makes sense. I spent about 20 hours...

Highest bidder so far!

I think it was taken care of pretty well. I had to replace a floor pan and a cab corner, and one of the fenders is a bit rusty, but overall it’s pretty solid. It has a dealership tag on the tailgate from a local dealership, so I’m pretty sure it’s been around here its whole life.

I know at least one of you had a side wager going that this would eventually happen. Go collect your winnings, smarty.

Well that sucks to hear. I guess I’ll have to save up for Kryptonite stuff for when the time comes to replace them.

Finally got the front suspension all together. To finish the front diff I had to buy a new adjuster and tool for tightening it. I tried removing the driver side adjuster with a hammer and drift punch. That didn’t go well - it mushroomed the tabs so they dug into the bore of the diff housing. I...

No worries, we've all had those moments, it certainly wasn't worth blasting you over 🙂

The truck was delivered to my dad’s house today. Now he just needs to insure and register it. There’s a local car show on May 6th he’s planning to take it to, so he’ll have to get that stuff done before then.

Last night the truck left the property for the first time in 5 years. My brother did an alignment today. The numbers look good. He played with the camber to compensate for road crown and said it drives down the road really nice. “Really tight” he called it….it better with all the new parts...

That looks like a great space. I’d love to have a bumpout with machining tools like that one day. Well done.
