install done, did a backyard bleed on it and seems to be good. did not have new crush washers on hand so used the existing, doing a leak check now paper towel under the caliper for a bit

test drive done, coast better than before, which makes sense as that old caliper was dragging a tad bit.

 

The 2003 swap isn't hard. I found the truck on car-part.com, went to the JY, took the tires off, laid the frame down, took both ball joints and the tie rods off, and walked out with a wheelbarrow of 2 loaded spindles for $250 for an hour's work.
