Heya everyone, back to posting updates again. I had to put the truck on hiatus due to my dad falling ill this past March, but he has gotten better so I'm hopping back on it!
So after completing the rear end, naturally the front axle would be next to reassemble. Lots of scrapping and wire-wheeling to get the old dried up grease off the kingpins and spindles. The tie rod identified as a banana and actually took a good bit of effort to straighten out, had no idea how stout they were for 1 tons! After that I cleaned up both tie rod ends and clamps, one end required a new grease zerk. Next was to put it all together(minus brakes) and lay some paint! Not pictured are the painted leaf springs mounted on the axle with the caster plates, lower shock mounts, and a set of new POL u-bolts...I'll have to snap a pic of that later.
