finally starting to get back to this.... as always one step forward 2 back....
I got the "guv lock" G80 posi rear out of the red truck and got it installed... then the problems: the drums came off the posi real nice, but inside was a mess, the drivers side had some broken brake springs, and on the passenger side the e brake lever (inside the drum) had come apart, and was laying in the bottom wearing a groove in the drum..
So I am thinking just pull the drums and brake hardware off the rear that's already in the sub.....No such luck, those drums are glued on pretty good... maybe I can get them off with some heat?
Or other suggestions if you have 'em...
now on to the front....the second step back-
I want to use the axle out of the red truck, the ratio matches the rear, and the axle I have in the sub has a blown up U joint, so I will just switch them, a lot of work, but cheap, except I get the front of the red truck jacked up and the LH hub is all wobbly and loose...
so now I'll have to tear this apart and see what I have...
along with this, I will need to switch out the red trucks auto locking hubs with the manual ones off the sub.
more to come-
