Yes I am schooling myself with axle tech 101 right now. Sounds like C clips can cause issues, where as full circle clips sound like a better design.
Also found out that a F150 D44 stub and short shaft will work on a 66-77 D44 Bronco. But you have to get the long side shortened. Glad I have that axle setting around....but it is my long side that is bad.

I went to the store tonight to get some soup & animal crackers. I find the animal crackers but I can't find the soup. A manager walks up and says can I help you find something?
I say yes I'm looking for duck soup. He says we don't have duck soup. Horse feathers I say! How can I enjoy a night at the opera with out duck soup & animal crackers. He tells me sir, I don't have time for this monkey business! Monkey business I say! Do I look like I'm dressed for a day at the races!?
It's a good thing I didn't ask about room service.

I'm going to be better off with Ka'Bluey, he's exempt to most everything except the basics, brakes, lights, suspension due to his age.
Finally, an older guy gets a break
Mornen everybody

RC. No, the red truck is staying around now. That's going to be Earthquake IV next year. I plan on picking away at the body work as I have time this summer while it's still close to the ground and easy to work on. Then build the new chassis over the winter and put everything together. I should be picking up the 5 ton axles soon. I have a few people interested in the '73, but are waiting for income tax money. First one here with the money, wins.

Hopefully it's just a reaction to the unseasonal weather we've been having and not a harbinger of bigger issues. Won't know the answer to that for another week or so. The nice thing is that since I don't have to stand up and teach class any longer, I can hide in my office and work without much problem when my lungs are acting up.

Evening All!
Dave. Good you can hide away from everyone now.
I got the truck in. It turns out the bumper cover was scuffed up as well, so I'm going to paint that, too. I was about to do a final sand and load the gun with color when a customer pulled up with a water pump trying to fly off the front of his engine. The water pump is done, but the paint will have to wait until I get back from the VA tomorrow.
