When I did my pumpkin swap I rolled the entire rear end out as I was having the rear springs re-built at the same time, made things much easier. Also, you can just imagine how many worn parts I discovered during this spring job. Found ALL the shackels, pins etc at a local spring shop btw and with prices a fraction of the LMC boys.

And just like rustbucket, my truck may get to haul a load of fire wood once a year and maybe a few loads to the dump, NOT a real working truck. Great attention getter at the swapmeets too. It's 'retired' like I want to be.
