I know there is several different styles of rims with both patterns on them in the event they sent you the wrong rotors and leave you hanging for another 8 months..

Measured, and they are 5x5.5 so all is good.
Spent the afternoon troubleshooting the heat pump on the house, think its toast. Have the HVAC guy coming out later today day for a second opinion. May get sometime this weekend on the truck. Have to help the daughter with some wedding stuff, so if that doesn't take too much time.

Spindle and brake assembly came in yesterday. Now I need to see where the transmission rebuild is. Still need to fit everything to find where the transmission support needs to go. Then paint the frame and start putting everything back on.
Looking good Andy, Nice to see you finely got the right hub assembly.

Finally got the transmission back yesterday. So now it's time to fit the engine, tranny and driveshaft and weld mounts in. Then yank it all out and off to powder coat.

I used the Milodon 31126 and I am real close on the front power steering rack but it fits. If I had placed the motor another 5/16ths back it would have touched. This is with front IFS and power steering rack.

Thought I might save my shoes and feet some and put a complete brake system in starting with running some lines. Call me crazy. Will rebuild part of the engine once everything is set. Not sure how soon any of it is going to happen. Moving the daughter and son in law out of the barn this weekend into the house they just bought. Still need to finish some things on the tiny house like down spouts before the rain comes. Having the tiny house work out great, put two family members out there that came in for the daughters wedding.

Little progress, have steering done (i think), fuel tank fitted, shifter and transmission linkage completed. Still figuring out breaks and E-brake.
