Looks great and thanks. Did you powder coat without the U-joints & bearing installed? If so, everything install cleanly?

Guys at the shop insist they be finished after they're installed. At this point that's the plan, though they'll probably be painted. Perhaps a clear coat too, semi-gloss is tempting for a little bling.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details such as OEM identifications& part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
