Ok so been making some progress here and there! Every bout and bolt on this thing is rusted tight even with PB blaster soaking overnight!
I got the front axle out and disassembled and I'm in the process of cleaning everything up and getting prepped for re installation. I got a set of used 4.10 gears from a wrecked f350 and everything seems to fit so I just gotta either A) learn to set it up myself or B) find a guy who won't charge me an arm and a leg to put it together right. I'm replacing the balljoints and all the seals and spindle bearings. rand new spindles and I cleaned up the knuckles really well in the sand blaster and I'll do the same on the uint yokes, or whatever you call'em. Also the spring bushings are shot and the frame is crusty, so new bushings OH, and ad a leafs in the front, and clean and paint front frame and springs..... bushings, then install the axle and all the new goodies. Here are a few pics of the happenings:
