    Oh, and the yoke was the correct one. I installed it today and seems to fit fine. Had to lathe down a socket though. Not a big fan of doing that.

    CUCVRUS, is it for a gm 14 bolt? If so, then heck yeah! Went for round 2 today... FAIL. Carquest gave me the wrong crush sleeve. there goes another 2 quarts of gear oil.. I worked on the starter today too. Part of where it mounts to the block is broken (on the block itself.) Does anyone know if...

    Renewed the steering box on mine... what a difference. While trying to fix a leak on the slip yoke, found the yoke out of the rear-end was broken. Got another on order.

    The steering box brace is on the list. The electrical outlets are the distribution panel for the oil pan heater, transmission heater, and j/w heater. I'll look into the driveshaft angles, good observation. So, not the original axles? Interesting...
