d60 progress, pics

just showing the progress ive made in the past 4 days. it will be going in the truck in about 2 weeks. these things will suck you dry if they need attention!
i need to pick up a track bar and the frame mount for it. and new calipers then it should be good to go.













i almost didnt want to paint it because it was so shiny
its all done now, just awaiting to put the top ball joints, i just put brand new moogs in my truck now so ill swap them when im doing the actual swap. but i just need to pick up 2 more seals and a tie rod/sleeve/calipers and im done.

if i had the money you bet it would have a tru trac or something to keep both tires wheelin! but this is a budget build. and my garage is a smaller 2 bay lol im waiting on my other parts before i yank the front end out. my plan is to yank the gears in both diffs and have them cryoed as well. but all in due time. its kind of silly how easy these things come apart!
