Old blue will be down a few days.
 

I swapped a 3.70 third member in to replace the 3.00-1. Gonna get new axle shaft bearings and seals in the morning as well as the parts to rebuild rear breaking system. My next project will be putting in a floorshifter so I don't get hung in first gear anymore. I may as well tackle the timing chain while I am at it cause it is a little slack. Nothing has broke down just doing some upgrades as well as grabbing a few things before they become a problem. With the way I am about to work her she has to be in tiptop condition.

Sounds like you're going to be busy! Good upgrades

Yeah gonna be busy. The gear upgrade is for pulling the trailer but I still can't wait to see what it does for takeoff.:)

She ought to really get up and go after you're done.

Tried truck today. Thing takes off alot better. I pushed skinny pedal half as much backing out of driveway and all I done was dug holes in tightly packed crusher run. Still gets great highway traction though. Rides alot smoother. I gotta bleed brakes when I get an assistant but all else is well. I have not upgraded shifter or put on new timing chain yet saving that for a later.

Happy upgrade:)

I finally replaced timing set today. Still waiting on the floor shifter. Brakes are working well and rear gears are awesome. Stopped real well when I pulled 5600 pounds with no trailer brakes a few days ago. Did not seem to know it was back there due to the gear swap either. Still got some things I gotta work out but so far its going great.
