I don't bother with the gaskets on my rebuilds. Just lots of Ultra Black RTV.

Be careful with that pinion shim setup. There are two different designs I have found. The shims going behind the small bearing are for a different style of gear with a different size 3rd bearing snout.
On the old rear ends it is important to have the gasket, between the third member and the axle housing, to maintain the proper distance, to centerline.

Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks.
Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.
