I spent that last two days installing a water heater and water lines as well as reviving a 59 Ford 4 cylinder tractor back from the brink. After 3 hours of messing with that thing I finally got it running. I had to drive it down the hill into my drive way and roll my complete SA (500lbs) out in position. I then had to wrap a tow rope around it to lift it high enough to get into the back of my truck which is going to MSR to have it mounted up. That happens Wed. morning. By Thur. the thing should be SAS'ed 
I got the diff separated and ready, as far as the hubs they might be going somewhere else. That remains to be seen.

SWAPPED!!! 
I had Mike at Mikes Specialty Repair in Garberville Ca. do the hanger welding and mount it up. He did a fantastic job! Super detailed and clean. I couldn't be more happy with it!!
It absolutely drives and handles like a dream. I can't believe it. Super responsive and actually pleasant handling.
Below are a few pics of it up, on and running.
I need to paint everything, get it flexed out, takes some pics and post em up.
Saw this 85 SA lonely, sad and unused
This is out front of Mikes Specialty Repair...Yota central!!
There is a Raccoon in that picture under there somewhere....
More poser shots.. I got so excited to flex it out I drove it up on my porch!
Cat is like..... "dude, this is silly!"

Its absolutely beautiful Mike!
The ride home was a pleasure. I can't wait to get it up the mountain and stretch it out.
Thanks for everything! Thanks for letting me hang out.
