Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"

So then I got moved into my new house and swapped the rear axles out for some 5ers. I pulled a whole rear end (also 373 open 12 bolt) from a 71 at the wifes grandpas farm. i was going to swap it in but the yoke had some rust or dirt in it and was quite crunchy when i spun it. so I researched swapping axles and priced new ones and It turned out to be my lucky day my 6 lugger was the rare long 70 not the original 67. I measured and measured and made sure the housings were the same and they were and i finally uncovered the date code on my rear, it was manufactured late in 69. so i swapped the 6ers out and stabbed the 5s in. it was pretty easy, remove this bolt (circled) in pic so the king pin can slide out (arrow). second pic removing the kingpin. third pic push the axle inward and remove the c-clips the slide the axles on out.
