I got 6 r22.5 rims from a local truck place for $50 each... with rubber! I've been so busy with work that I haven't even worked on my freaking cat swap for like a month but one of these days I'll throw some new on/off highway radials on the truck.

You guys should be able to get your double splined axle shafts from Ouverson.
.... or just pump out your own.... shouldn't be rocket surgery to get someone to cut some coarse splines in some 1 5/8" OD cold rolled, which is what I believe you'd use for stock on those shafts.... 1.62" OD, right?
I should post a pic or two of the armoring I did to my J pipe. Yeah, big hole right there as well. I cut and kerfed out some big ass pipe I had and welded it on one night. Strong as a house and surely won't rust through again.
Just Tig welded a new 2 ujoint steering shaft for the deuce and...
I didn't even see this forum until today, but it would be a great place to talk about Active Truck Parts. They have 2 5 tons out there, slowly rusting:

My pics, taken during a run out there in October for wheel and brake parts...
The REO used all the brake lines and systems from the C60 (probably a Cab over engine model). I picked tom's brain about this about a year ago but my notes are back home.
The airpacks in those trucks are actuated by JUST air. That's the point - the cab tilts, and so they just use flexible air...

You and I were like seperated at birth.
PS Didn't you know that Lincoln makes a quite serviceable rockwell locker? ;) Got "them" in both F and R (and I also have 2 spare chunks sitting around!).
Nice parts though!

PS I have really no idea if what I just typed is at all applicable. I just ate lunch and got ZERO sleep last night so that's just another crazy idea of mine. Windjammer is basically "silicone lite" and creates a weatherproof barrier, and is intended more for heat-loss mitigation, but might be a...
Maybe try some of this stuff called Windjammer first. It's like temporary weather stripping for your house, and it comes in a Cheez-whiz / RightStuff type can. It apparently doesn't stick that hard and can be removed very easy. I'd do that before siliconing everything together. Just a brainstorm.
