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?

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.

Got some of the rear end done.  Kind of strange to have everything so nice and then stock under carriage paint.

I am running 225-50-15's, Kuhmo's.  About $60 a tire, very happy with them.

Beutiful cars, but I am only interested in 205/50 and 55.  Top is 50 bottom is 55.

Stock diameter is 25". You want the 55s with just under 24" diameter. 50s are too small at 23"
