Starting a BB Duster project
I started to work on the rear end next. My issue back there was that I couldn't figure out how to get the Dana 60 into the correct location so I could weld the perches on. A floor jack doesn't lift a Dana 60 very well since the housing won't sit square on the jack. I wrestled with it for a while then finally welded up a fixture for my trans jack so I could securely hold the Dana 60. Now I can move the housing very precisely and get the angle correct before I weld it in place.
