Here's the start to my order of parts, this is the Master cylinder adapter plate, brake line adapters to MC and the rear brake line from Toyota to GM all from Sky's. Still more to come, got everything to get the truck driving again with the 14 bolt in the rear, still don't have the stuff for the front axle swap yet but it will be coming.

Another box came today, this is the behind the axle shock mount from Barnes, just big enough to fit the 14 Bolt axle tube.

Yeah, still come here every once in a while. I also hate it when someone starts a build up that I am really interested in and then they stop mid build, just trying to show that although its been a while, I am still working on it.

So got the Sky's fullsize spring hanger kit, also got shock hoops on order, still need springs, steering, shocks, front brake lines, master cylinder, rear u-joint straps, some new front calipers and pads and eventually, tires and wheels, front yoke and seal, front driveline and lockers, gears and all that good stuff after its moving again, getting closer though.

Too dark to get any good pics (my phone doesn't have a flash) but I picked up these for $50 today.....Trail Gear 5" Front Leaf Springs, he said they have sagged a bit, which is fine with me, I don't want a 5" lift anyway. So new bushings and a refresh and they will be ready.

Thanks, I ordered a crossover steering kit from Chassis Unlimited a few days ago, I am thinking in a month or two, I will be posting up pics of it being torn down and a finished pic with the axles under it finally.

Here is the crossover steering from Chassis Unlimited, it isn't high steer just because high steer is so expensive. The kit I ordered has the passenger side springless arm for the Dana 60 and a 2 inch drop pitman arm that will allow the pitman arm to go from the Toyota steering box to the Chevy 1 ton TRE. Getting real close.

Rock Tactics 63 rear spring conversion, these guys are local to me, well Seattle area, I ordered on Friday and got the box today, free shipping, everything is Tig welded, they called me right after ordering to tell me they didn't have 6 inch shackles that were the 3/8 thick plates and asked me what I wanted to do, I just went with the 5 inch. But I would recommend these guys, everything looks great and for a really good price.
