ok.. so here is the plate cut as the jig... hope to get it TIGed this weekend...
The problem with this is I won't be able to test the whole setup for a while. I still need crossover parts, 2wd box, brake parts etc. before I can swap axles under the truck... plus it will be my daily driver from December till March... so the earliest I can START the swap is mid March provided I have the funds...
