Frame coming together , looks good with the ORI's on it. Also put on the hubs, put new bearings in the front , back were already new , I did repack them . This is a good shot of the chevy conversion from ford twin piston one ton brakes to 3/4 ton JB7 single piston. Rear Diff was done by my ol buddy John bear. the ARB had been taken apart so we called ARB talked to those folks who told us how to fix it.

The front diff is a Yukon grizzly locker given to me by Chris Rogers. He had it in hi garage , it was taking up space.
