So I finally got the deuce back together, frame and leaf springs are firmly attached to each other again, steering box is now in (though I needs a bit of adjustment, maybe one flat on the screw). Took it for a test drive yesterday and found something a bit disturbing.
I think my drivetrain, or at least the X-fer case is out of alignment. The shift lever sits a bit low in High gear, in Neutral it's where is should be in Low gear, and low gear is pinned on the floor and rattles like ALL heck. I normally split shift it Low: 2, 3, 4, 5 then High: 4, 5. It went smooththe first run, then on a decel I went to shift back to low 5 and the clattering and banging started. No problem in high range, although it sounds a tad louder in 5H, but it could be because I didn't have the ear plugs in.
Could it be possible that maybe the front of the X-fer is drooping? That seems it would explain they strange placement of my shift lever now.
Thanks,
James
