    Well 10 hours over 4 days and the axel is out, only walk in access so no fire wrench or sparky wheel, and I only broke 1 bolt. It’s amazing how a little penetrating fluid and persuasion can overcome honest rust, where as the corrosion caused by the shit they pour on the roads these days cannot, just replaced the fuel pump in my 08 ranger( for the second time) and broke every bolt I touched:mad: while poking around the property I also found the straight axle, and unfortunately only 1 fairly corroded artillery wheel , I also grabbed the rear sway bar off the Hudson, steering box was locked up and the pitman arm refused to budge, so it stayed. The shackles on the front springs are being a bit of a pain so they may have to be sawn off, not looking forward to that. CF0BB56D-76BF-4803-B471-EE2C094E6CD6.jpeg

  5. Did you get the hubs/drums for the Hudson axle?
    The other axle looks like Chevy/GM

    Only one drum present, and I searched. At least the other is there with the shoes and hardware for part numbers
