Thanks Tinker. I may just end up pulling the cover off and filling up with new oil see how she goes before I get too far in

Maybe someone who knows more than us can clue us in? Nothing looks better than a 9 inch either
no doubt I've really punished this one but it's the original it's ready to go ad soon. I have about 200$ for the rear end itself disc included just need to hand back some brackets to the guy. I have a friend that will do the saddles and a shop that could mount it all up on a surface plate as well. I wouldnt mind havin it broken into and rebuilt before going on and the axles i could bite the bullet on. I'd love to have disc all around even if this truck stops better than most vehicles i drive already haha
