I swear this car will be on the road again soon. Got the Dana 60 in, mono leafs and caltracs in. Brake lines manufactured and installed and look absolutely perfect. Wheel hit calipers, so I bought new wheels and they are on. Last step is install new yoke to accommodate the larger u-joint, lower it down and measure for driveshaft cutting. The yoke doesn't fit the Dana. Funny, I ordered it specifically for a Dana 60. I call Rick and he says there is only one size shaft on a Dana 60, but they fit snug. Tap it on with a rubber hammer. 16 thousandths difference isn't getting pounded on with a hammer. I take him both yokes and he says it must be a mis-box. "Looks like it's for a Chrysler 8.75", he says. So now I have to wait for the new one to get here and it probably won't get here in time to get the driveshaft finished and the car on the road for Car Craft this weekend. I do have some pics of the awesome brake line work. There was no place to mount the junction block so we welded a bolt upside down onto the axle. Got a good pic of my new wheels as well.View attachment brake lines.jpg
