I ordered some goodies and they came. I needed a new windshield seal and it was 30$ along with rear door hing seals. Also reproduction inside handles.
So I restarted work on the windshield channel. Im like 75% there.
Some interesting info I found while shopping for swap parts...
jeeps used a 2" wide spring and shackles can be easily found cheaply.
I am going to use the original spring packs , with new shackles mounted outside the frame. These spring will then be wide enough to mount to my 87 front axle. The rear no width modification is needed. Just need to mount spring axle perches in narrower.
The width of my axles is going to make clearance ok for the leaf pack in the front being out a lil wider. the original lever shock might become a problem even flipped around.
I found the pitman arm puller but have yet to continue on the removal there, as I am focusing on closing up the truck, starting with the windshield.
I got some free 20" tires for my 20" for my Yukon. Same bolt pattern as my 87 axles but different hub size. Well upon inspection while installing on my Yukon, I noticed they have a universal hub design. So they will fit the 87 axles. not sure how the back spacing is going to work out but , I will upload a pick of the wheels mounted to my yukon. You'll see why they match the style of the AD trucks.
