Here is the rear axle. Its a 14 BFF from a late model truck with disc brakes. I cut the old perches off. I ground the welds down smooth and test fit my DIY4x perches ... but didit get that pic...

I also cleaned up my custom D60 front caliper brackets. (see my other thread for the details) and test fit my NorthWest Fab crossover cap. It eliminated a 4" block that raised the steering arm. I'll need to run a chase tap through one of the bolt holes as one is slightly cross threaded. I hope I don have to helicoil it....

I also replaced the heater core last week. It was a pinhole leak. I cleaned everything up and used new hose. The interior of the original hose was deteriorating.
