I picked up a new flexplate and got it installed, and slammed the engine and transmission in the frame. I took the 2" springs out and put the stock ones back in, so it is 2 1/2" spindles in the front, and 4" in the rear. It was just a little too low. I got the front shocks in, and got the exhaust installed, but the tail pipe is just tacked in for now, so I can adjust it once the bed is installed. I must be getting old, I took out the hooker headers, and flowmaster mufflers, and put the manifolds on with a y pipe, and a regular quiet muffler! It even lined up with the factory hangers.
The plan for tonight is to get the rear end serviced, and painted, and I have a few more leaf spring bushings to install, and I'll get the drive shat painted and installed. If things go well, I'll get the front calipers painted and installed, with new hoses.
