This takes us to a milestone. The chassis, axles, suspension and brakes are finished.

Recall that the whole reason this truck came apart was to fix frame cracks revealed when I was starting two replace the brakes which had ceased functioning. Since then

Frame cracks have been repaired in 6 places ( I showed you 3 of those)
Cab support frame arms replaced
Frame powder coated
Front leaf springs replaced along with new bushings
Kingpins replaced
Front and rear wheel bearings and seals replaced
Rear spring bushings replaced
Rear axle, complete, replaced with the Dana 44-1 (limited slip)
New brake hardware throughout

When I got it sitting on all 4 tires I was able to measure the droop of the cab support arms
Driver's is 6/32", passenger side is 5/32"
That is within 1/32" matched left to right. Pretty happy with that. The cab ought to be square with only a 1/32" shim on the driver's side.

NEXT UP: On to some clutch and transmission work. A nice change of pace.
