9" rear in a jailbar truck

[GB SISSON]

Hoping to start the swap in the morning. A lot had to happen to get the woodie back into my good work bay. Finished the work on the skid steer last week. This week it's been getting that old figurehead project out of my way. The owner is a very busy guy and I need him to make a bunch of decisions about how to procede from this point. Scheduling a trip out here can be difficult. Now I see he's out of state for a month so decided to mount the rotisserie on an old trailer frame I had so she's moveable. I will put her in a shed on the lower property until I have confirmation on phase 2. In the photos she is in 'travel mode'. About a foot lower than working height for better center of gravity. Hoist her up with the overhead winch and put the pins in the top holes and she can rotate 360 degrees. With the old gal outa the way I did a good cleanup and got the other old girl in and jacked up on a pair of large mis-matched jack stands. I wanted front up a bit too so blocked and chocked the front wheels too. I think I have all the needed parts and have loosened and tightened back the u bolts etc for no surprises. I'm sure there will be a few. There always is..... My main hope is for no alterations to that driveshaft. The 4th Of July parade is looming and we have more family than ever eager to be involved. Even my baby sister with her husband, 2 sons and grandchild, all the way from someplace called Brighton on the coast of England!
