My 81 Project

Hi i am just starting to gather parts and info for My 81 reg cab 4x4 project. i have found a parts truck for spare parts that i got for free which i am happy about, i will now have power steering and spare power train, drive line parts.
I have also ordered an aussie locker for the rear and i am going to weld the front for now. I need some opinions now what should i do next?
thanks Dave

Aussie the front so you can turn, The rear is better off to be welded

My theory is weld the front because I have manual hubs and the aussie in the back so that there is some drivability

Dont weld front it'll cause you more hassle then good. Welding or locking front you got to be careful with your birfs you'll destroy them much quicker specially with bigger tires. If your that worried bout it Aussie both front an rear. If your sold on welding it weld the rear.
