Finally, the box can be mocked up. The engine cross member is right in the way of the rear upper bolt.. Have to fix that tomorrow.
Next, Clay's buddy cleaned and painted the axle housing. I don't have a pic of it before paint, all welded up. We installed the 3rd next. I don't have any pics of that, either. I went with a 9+ nodular housing and full spool. It took a while to set up, and didn't come out as good as I would have liked.
Here it is painted, assembled, with new grade 8 fasteners. Doing a freaking frame off resto to a race truck that is gonna get beat to death!!!
Got a big, huge pinion guard on the front as well!!!
