Hi Guys, I'm getting close, really close. I was able to put the 3 16th inch brake lines on the axle. I got the axle in place under the springs, and put the u bolts in , along with the rear traction bar mounts. Then i went ahead and installed the front traction bar mounts, along with the traction bars. Next i put the breather hose on the axle. I then attached the units hose on the top of the differential, to the quarter inch brake line, that was already mounted to the brake line bracket on the main rail. Next i Went ahead and installed the drive shaft, and shocks. The only thing i've got left is, poor brake fluid in and bleed the brakes, put the new differential cover on and put the 80 90 gear fluid in, cut the breather hose and mount it in place when the new bracket gets in, and put the whole emergency brake system back in when it also comes in from GM. Yesterday i was able to build a box on top of the bed rails. I built it high enough so i didn't have to take the fin off when flipping the bed. I then had my father along with 2 other Nabors, flip the bed onto the box i built. then i took the box i built, for the bed to sit on while doing the frame, and dismantled it. So this is where i stand. the bed is upside down and i'm ready to sand blast the whole underneath of it, and paint it. So here is my questions. there are a few cross members along the bottom of the bed. this is where the bolts will attach to secure the bed to the frame. the members are very small, they are like 2 by 2. How would someone go about sanding inside these members? The second question. When i took off the bed, if you remember, i had to sawzall a few bolts out of the cross members. when i went to get the bolts out of the nuts in the cross members, the pre welded nuts snapped. Can someone enlighten me on how to take care of this problem? I thought about using a really thick washer and just put a nut on it, but i would like to hear if anyone else has any other suggestions. Enjoy your weekend everyone,. Roger C Bachelder 3rd [EMAIL PROTECTED]
