Ms Piggy. Black and Blue!

That is an awesome semi floating D60, 4.10 ratio, posi. It was the axle under the Bronco when I got it. It could be stuffed with high dollar 35 spline axles and all kind of fancy stuff. You want to gamble on a purchase?

I had to make a new strap for the 23 gal tank. The one I had was for a 2" body lift. It didn't want to work with the 1" body lift. The new one was fabbed from a 2.5" wide 1/8" thick piece of flat stock. I bent it up and gusseted the ends.

Also rebuilt the heater box using the Chevy conversion motor and a huge squirrel cage fan. I had to modify the opening a bit to make it fit and use some 1/2" plywood as a 'shim'. Got it all painted up and resealed. Put it all together using stainless machine screws and lock nuts and tested it. Might have went a little overboard, it sounds like my shop vac!

Another milestone- I bought a gallon of the finish color. Grabber blue! It was tough to find exactly what I wanted. Apparently some of the pigments used back in the 70's color aren't made any more. Found a Nason product that came out great! Used some to paint my radius arms. If you don't like it, bite my ankle. I'm a big fan! Only issue with it is that it doesn't show up well in pics. It is darker than it appears in the photo.
