April 2012 Resto...Part I

 This is the rear axle teardown....surprisingly the gears looked in almost new shape

Rebuilding everything...races, bushings, bearings, seals, and also upgrading to a new 3.55 ring and pinion

 Out with the old in with the new...upgrading to 4 wheel disc brakes w/ 11" discs

\

 I sanded down the drive shaft and coated with WD-40 to prevent further rusting...need to take to shop and ensure that it is straight

And here is the ALMOST finished product...still waiting for the rebuild kit and gears...more to come...
