Got my patch panel for the ugly running board. Both running boards back from the sandblaster. Cut the worst part out and used the full length of the patch. Still had to fill quite a few pin holes, Oh well, better than it was. Went Tuesday long distance to pick up a ZR2 rear end from a 2002 s-10 to put in place of the existing s-10 rear end. The tire mounting surface dimensions is virtually the same as the stock suburban torque tube rear end. The leaf spring purches are in the correct same location. In addition I will have rear disc brakes instead of drum brakes. I will clean it up like the frame and add new calipers, rotors and dust plates. While I’m back at this end of the frame working new leaf spring bushings will be added.
