440 to Cummins Crew Cab Swap: Got the ramcharger out of the shop today.

How to Read this Blog

When I started this blog, I could not figure out, within the given parameters, how to get it to read logically. So it ended up with the freshest post on the top of the page with the top of the post being the beginning of the post. When you get to the end of the post, you will find the beginning of the previous post. A bit awkward, but ...it is what it is. (right David?)

Also, feel free to leave comments. I engaged the annoying "real person verification thingy" because some dork put an add to his product on my blog and disguised it as a comment. He probably works on wall street.

Got the ramcharger out of the shop today.

My buddy at M&H machine got me set up with the 4:10 gears. I got the axle back and in the truck over the weekend. This Dana 60 axle came out of a donor chassis that had been in a nasty wreck. The tie rod was bent in the middle at a right angle. When I put the axle under the ramcharger I stole the tie rod from my crew cab. I ordered a new chromoly tie rod from M&H to replace it.

I also bolted the body back on without the body lift. I had to go out today and find some new bolts the right length for the mounts without the spacers.
