Started off the day with finishing up the DANA 44; mounted the calipers, and then installed the manual hub locks.

Then I installed the 12 bolt brakes and hubs.

When I tore down the transfer case it was full of ATF, so I pulled the bearing out of the transmission to transfer case and checked the seals. One of them was messed up

.
Then I cleaned up the steering sector.

All I am waiting on now is the front spring bushings and the rear lift blocks ( the old ones were rusted out, homemade at of 2” tubing) and U-bolts.

Tomorrow, I start the search for a 5.3L and 4L60e with all the stuff needed for the swap.
