I have a 97 ext cab with a 4L and a 5 speed. Recently picked up a complete hp Dana 44 with all the steering, and radius arms and a 9 inch out of a 79 f150. Spent a few days with degreaser and a wire wheel, pulled everything apart, cleaned it all up, put a few coats of paint on and brought the D44 housing and 9inch 3rd to a shop to get the gears setup. Heres a list of what i have and how much im into so far:

Bronco Graveyard:
D44 5.13's 119.00
Bushing Kit 48.00
Warn Lock-outs 95.00
760 u joints 50.00
D44 Overhaul kit 85.00
9" 5.13's 205.00
9" master overhaul kit 139.00

Shop:
3.73 and up carrier 90.00
D44 inner axle seals 50.00<----really?!?!?!?!
D44 R&P setup 200.00
9inch R&P setup 200.00

Kragen:
Re-Man Calipers 40.00
Brake Pads 35.00

Craigslist:

Still need:
7" eb coils(any brand you would suggest for good flex)
63" chevys
SS brakelines
belltech shackles
lockrite for D44
detroit for 9inch
ball joints
wheel cylinders
drum hardware kit
3/4" heims for steering
dom tubing
1 1/4 joints(idk which) for ext radius arms
another set of doors to make half doors

im sure theres plenty of things im forgetting, and considering this is my first time doing an sas, i can definetly use all the helpful criticism i can get. thanks
