Something I have learned about the driveline, I have yet to confirm it but I have been told 100% that you can get a 1350 Spicer U-joint that normally goes onto the 14 bolt, you take the rear Toyota drive flange off the driveline and take off 2 u-joint caps that go to the 14 bolt yoke and the 1350 caps will go on and fit the 14 bolt.
Nice truck BTW.

Leaf spring pads and ubolts showed up today. I should now have everything to install the tons. I think the next priority is gonna be building the axles!

Post pics. I'm in the same boat.

You just bend some tube and weld it together. How hard can it be?
