)Try pounding that bolt out using a punch first from the underside, it might just pop out. You should be able to find a plug for that hole at a parts or plumbing store or just use an old sensor to fill it.

Speaking of por15, I por15'd my door bottoms a while ago due to rusting.. Checked it a few weeks ago and it has not held up at all. Followed instructions/prep work but it apparently didn't hold. Still got extra marine clean though, worked nicely to clean up the intake manifold.
Thanks, yep those are the new wheels for the truck. Over the next week this diff swap should be finished, pix then for sure. All the front diff needs is a coat of Por-15 and its ready to go under the truck.

email me when you get it finished and let me know about the ds length! im thinking about selling the d70 to get a 60. we have(or should have) the same length driveshafts as our trucks are both ex cab short beds.

Merc,
Put your good work into it's own thread already!
Really dislike having to go look around for it....
That 60 will be just fine for ya. Glad you're making progress. I did at least get a quote from a couple shops for doing arb/gear install. I'm just not feeling like doing it.
I giving serious thought to 2 piece DS so that the angle avoids the rocks. Anyone got thoughts on that? Yeah, I'd have to move my 5g tank.

Put gas in it, drove it to Salmonarm to pick up the new wheels/rims, they will work for the summer then sold as I will be going up to a 17-18" rim next year. The rear diff is almost ready to go under the truck just waiting on a Spicer part pinion yoke 2-4-7681-1X for 7290 joint to fit the Dana 60. There are NO combination u joints for this swap (7290 to 1410) and the 9.25 yoke will NOT fit a Dana 60 close but not close enough. So far it looks like no ds mod's are needed, but I will find out more over this weekend, all by tape measure so far, time will tell.
New Black Iron Outcast Wheels 16x8.5 8 bolt.
60 all cleaned up and painted with Por-15, great stuff. Still need to change out the shoes and wheel cylds, make new hardlines as well.
