I've had the rear apart for a brake job. There are three parts that ought to be new when I put it back: the aluminum gasket at the axle flange, the lock plate for the 8 cap screws (little lock tabs are all broken off), and the spider-like lock that holds the wheel bearing nuts in adjustment (necessary legs also broken off). Does anybody know of a source for these parts? Can I replace the aluminum gasket with some new gasket material that I could cut myself? I can't wait to actually drive this thing out of the garage.
Thanks, Joe H.

Most any truck shop will have the lock tabs. As for the gasket, just dry it good and use some silicone sealer and put some lock tight on the bolts so they will stay locked down too,
