So the build begins gents. Here are some pics for refference. I'll be posting lots and lots of pics as the build progresses. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up a Dana 35, to replace the 28 that's in it. I found it on craigslist for $150 including manual locking hubs
I decided to convert it from an XLT to a Lariat!
Before
After......
First in line, was replacing a U-joint (slip yoke). It was so bad, that there were no more needle bearings left AT ALL! The yokes were banging against eachother...

This has nothing to do with the build, but I thought it was awesome! Got it off ebay last night. It should ship Monday. 12.5 x 16" and it's made of tin.
And lastly, I picked up the most ignored object, known to vehicle ownership.
Today, I'm replacing the fuel filter, changing the oil, all light bulbs, and Seafoaming the intake. If it's not raining next weekend, I'll be swaping axles. I'll make sure to post ton's of pics, and any helpful information the tech library may have missed. I doubt it though, it should be pretty straight forward.
I'll have the 6" Skyjacker lift towards the end of next month
