What part number chris?

So this U-joint that I had purchased at MAZZA's auto parts is number 1-0099 by Neapco....anyone heard of this brand? It was $34.00. It is grease-able and I guess we'll see how strong it is.

theyve been good to me

Good to hear!!! Working well for me too.

you've got dibs. 14 FF w/ 4:88's. All new bearings and seals are in. I'll let you know soon. Bringing Blazer home this weekend to get to work. Oh, and rear brakes are disc! All ready converted.

[Blazin40s]

yeah, lemme know, I was gonna go 5.13s, but 4.88s will work.  Lot cheaper to regear one axle instead of 2.  That is if u gimme a good deal      Are u puttin rocks under it?

[CBakes]

U switchin to a divorced case?  Rocks?  What's the plans?

yeah, I really think its time for rocks. Most likely a divorced t case too.

I may look to adapt my trans to divorsed t case. I bought that trans from monster performance trans pre built to 625 horse capable. Spent a pretty penny for it, that's why I want to see options for tcases.

you can have a shop make your trans a 2wd.  I had 2 2wd made 4x4 and one 4x4 made 2wd.

That's a thought too. How much did it cost you to convert?

[betterbeaters]

I had all the parts to do it so he just hit me a few bucks for labor.

Of course, I'll post pics as I go. Isaac and I got at the Bruzer again a couple nights ago. We modified my body mounts and are strengthening my floor boards. There are spots that have just given up and it's time with tgw less than a month away. Over all, the front end is about 3" higher then it was and the rear is between 5-7" higher with the additional height in body mounts + taking about 3" of sag out of the body due to rotten floors. I should be adding a tailgate back into the equation and that will help support the bed sides. By this coming weekend, the floor pans should be all good too. It's gonna look a whole lot different with some new skins too!
