[newstedcomeback]

Well, its been a while. Sorry I fell off the radar. The wife and I had a son, we are very excited! he is our first. he was born last month and I have been very busy.

I got my truck running and have moved it around the driveway and down the street a couple times. it is awesome, and now that its somewhat drivable, time to celebrate by taking it back apart!! haha I decided to take the truck in a new direction and make it a 1 ton. I want to run the 37"

I came across a 1985 k3500 on craigslist that I just couldnt pass up. I took it home and tore it apart. I got my SRW dana 60 with 4.10 gears, an extra 14 bolt, 454 big block, turbo 400 with a round pattern NP 205. and a full hydroboost system. SCORE!!!! it was a running truck with a 4" lift and 35" bfg mud terrains. everything is in great shape. Im going to use the dana 60, the th400 and the 205. I need to replace the seals on them and clean them up a little. I have been slowly chipping away at the project. but the baby comes first.

I will eventually sell my dana 44 and the 700r4/np208 setup.

I cant believe how beefy the dana 60 is compared to the dana 44. and its much easier to take apart the kingpins than it is for the balljoints.

More pics will come soon.
