I can sell the D60 front axle for what I paid for the entire vehicle if needed but I might keep it and save the nice diesels from winter's deicer-induced rusting fate and low temperatures.

I'll get it home this week sometime. The guy I bought it from thought it needed a water pump...that turned into a front cover job......that turned into an oil pan reseal.......that became a pile of engine parts that forgot how to go back together. Works for me!

Do you ever sleep?

Yeah, from 8-5 every night.

If I'm not making money, the IRS ain't taking it. I afford myself time to do what I want to do.

Here's the ugly 460-powered pickup....on the trailer on Wednesday. It's still there until I go to the salvage joint and find some parts - steering column being the most important right now. Pardon the security camera footage.
