September 29, 20177 yr Author comment_531333 Trying to decide on what to install next. Put the rear end back in? Can I put the driveline in after the rear end is in? I assume there is enough play on the yoke to accomplish that? Should I put anti seize on the fill and drain plugs on the diff?

September 29, 20177 yr Author comment_531346 Hours and hours of time spent prepping/ tapping these for powder and paint. Still have a little overspray, but shouldn't be terrible to remove for u-joints and such.

Thanks it will need to slow down soon, I am getting my 77 bronco (full frame off restomod) back from paint in the next week or 2. I will need to focus on that for a bit. It's like 90% done or more.

September 30, 20177 yr Author comment_531407 Got some of the rear end done. Kind of strange to have everything so nice and then stock under carriage paint.
