Hello Bartamos,
Thanks for your response.
I will post some pics.
I rebuilt the rear end to have worry free driving. I never drove this truck and I do not know if the rear end was working.
The spacer is installed in between the two spider gears and side gears. There are no missing pieces.
The approx. 1/4" play is in the drive shaft in the of the torque tube end when you rock the shaft back and forth. I will get an exact measurement.
I can see the pinion and ring gear contact smoothly but the spider and side gears seem to have a lot of play. When someone rocks the tires the spider gears move a little before engaging, the movement seems excessive.
Thanks,
Jay L.
