I have the differential (pumpkin) completely out. Last night I did a complete parts wash on everything. Boy does that old rearend oil stink! I can see part #'s on the pinion bearings but will still need to remove the pinion assmbly tonight. I was worried about the thrust bolt on the side before I did anymore disassembly.
This is my first restoration and my very first attempt at a full floating rearend. Truck is going to be a flatbed delivery truck when I am finished. I have 4 years. That's when my son gets out of the Air Force, unless he makes a career out of it.
I read a lot of the post everyday and have been helped a great deal.
Thanks,
Tim
