Ok. Truck is finally home in my garage. I have pictures posted on Facebook. Can I rephrase the question?
Is there a way to swap the torque tube rear end finnards for a more modern 3/4 ton carrier assembly, and if so, which one is it?
There are aftermarket modifiers for front axle ball bearings to roller bearings. It has no steering box, so what would also fit that would be a GM part?
