Been a couple weeks since an update. Don't fret, I'm still making progress.
Frame rust repair is almost complete. The middle cross-members have been cleaned, weld-through primed, and boxed with new metal. I may have a new rear cross-member fabricated by the weekend.
The rear axle has been stripped of rust & paint. Axle shafts are out of the housing. Axle shaft, hub, pinion bearings, brake cylinder rebuild, and brake hardware will be ordered soon.
Transmission has been mostly stripped of rust & paint. One rear leaf pack has been disassembled and stripped. I'm working towards getting all things chassis & driveline ready for painting this May. I really am considering hiring a shop to dip-strip what's left to do.
