I cant afford it either Mike. I'm generating needed money in unique ways to fund my build. Also I am trading help to guys I know to get engine and tranny rebuilt as well as differential. I also made a deal on the paint job. A guy I know sandblasted the frame for $175, the primer was $36. I am doing as much as I can myself. That's where you guys come in. This doesn't happen without your help.

Taking the rear end apart tonite and I ran into a strange piece.
Its like a 5/8" thick spacer between the diff and the leaf spring which looked stock until I cleaned it up and it appears to be a homemade flame cut spacer or shim. What I need to know, is this a recreation of a stock part or an add on?

Been doing a little remodeling in my shop for more storage. You know how it goes, you start out by hanging a cabinet next thing you know you are gutting out walls and removing windows and running conduit 
but I managed to make myself stop so I am getting the diff ready for rebuilding. Had to remove 3 broken bolts first.
