Rear seals removed, rear bearings removed, rear end pulled from truck. The spring hangers on the very back are completely egged out and will need to be replaced. I think one of my parts trucks has a decent set on the back. The rubber seals are still intact on that truck so I’ll remove that rear end as well and then transfer the spring mounts to this truck. The frame on the parts truck is rotten at the “K/X”(...main?) cross member. I’m looking froward to getting that 3.90 installed. Well, after some cleaning, welding, blasting, and painting!
I also ripped a handful more boards for the bedwood. I cut them to length but will need to square them up, route them, and plane them at my father in laws’s shop.

Update- May 13th:
I ripped out the parts truck suspension with the old gas axe tonight. It took me longer than I expected. It’s weird how that happens, eh? The spring’s clips are broken on the parts truck, hangers look good, shackles look decent (for a 68 year old truck), but the housing is shot. I should be able to salvage at least one complete rear end between these 3 trucks.
