I had hoped Rob would not tell everyone I had a "short drive shaft".....

....oh well at least it's green.

I also installed my NOS fuel strainer as teh early cab 11 did not have them I had to make a template based on other cab 12...... then and only then did Grant show me the template in the service bulletin manual.... but I had it right anyways..... fuel lines are are installed with metal tie down straps over a high pressure air line section...... trying to avoid the potential fire hazards reported by Phil....

I had originally installed the short middel driveshaft and front shaft "as is".... the U joints looked good and tight...., but since the floor was off the trcuk and access was easier from the top and already had purchased the four Spicer U joint we did all four....... and I am very relieved to say that one showed some signs of flat spot wear and another had dried up..... now I know I have 6 new Spicer.....

It just never ends......
