Well, wouldn't you believe it, when I went back out the next day to admire my work, I noticed a puddle of oil under the right axle housing. After I checked it out, I noticed it had a very small hole and was leaking the gear oil out. I tried to weld it up but had no success. Oh well, I guess all that work was in vane. I will have to go another route. I found a 9" Ford rear end that came out of a '98 Ford Explorer that was the right width.
