Used the tech library to replace the front brake lines . This time I turned them out towards the tire .

I forgot about that . Yeah first time out with the 44 stuff and it looks like it lost a cap off a joint . But that is my fault . I did all that work and didn't put in new joints , I just tack welded the caps on some used joints to the shafts . New 5-760x joints and full clips will be going in before next weekend .

Found some Spicer 5-760x u-joints locally at a truck repair shop called CTC for $24.50 . Couldn't find them that cheap on the internet . The tech page said to use 1 3/16" clips but I couldn't find any , so I used 1 1/8" clips from Rural King .
Also went ahead and weld the caps , but just in one spot . I fixed the one I broke but I'll have to get more shafts before I can do the rest .

760 joints , full clips, and welded :headbang:

When you did your gears, did you do the c-clip elim. And if so what/where did you get the spring?
