    fix caliper
    check center pins

    Dana 60:

    Brakes
    rebuild kingpins
    lockright or weld
    check on the lockouts

    Steering:

    Design and build hi steer arms
    Tie rod
    draglink
    tap steering box
    ram
    hoses

    Maint.:

    Check york
    change oil
    change antifreeze
    install rearseat belts

    Misc:

    Build new rear bumper
    beef skid plate
    get cb fixed and buy antanae

    Blair already approved and was excited about samantha, a hotel room, and riding in a comfy truck there!

    The list shouldn't be too hard to accomplish. First thing I need to do is get the blazer and dana 60 here.


    and yes jerry i had more to do before spring break and I really only started the week before...



    Mike want to let me borrow the lock right since it's not being used?

    hell i paid for the tires on the trailer so i should be good! it,s got surge brakes, no controller needed.

    Someone school me on tie rods and draglinks. I plan on having the tie rod behind the axle and using chevy tierod ends. Weld in bungs acceptable for the reverse threaded end? I have a tap for the regular threads.

    Chevy guys, what pitman arm do i need?

    For the steering arms... I have 1" plate at the moment, but I have access to 1.25 and 1.5 for free also, however, I think 1" is the norm, correct?

    I believe it's around $100 for the tap. If enough people have an interest we could split up the cost and I can use the tap on the lathe at work.
