Since I was about 4 hours away, I wasn't there to take pictures of the rear end swap process. It simply bolted right up though. We did paint it with some satin black rust control paint, and dad also cleaned up/painted the metal rear brake line. I also took the time to partially clean/paint the frame and trailing arms around the rear, as well as the coil springs and hardware. I wasn't able to get pics of it before installation, but here's how it looks underneath the truck.
