Back from the drive-train shop. New side bearings were installed
 I sent out the rear drums to Napa machine shop in Barrie. I couldn't find a local shop that could resurface them. The cost was 66 ea plus tax.  My rear floor should be here next week, week after at the latest. Im waiting on some big butt wrenches and sockets as I have to remove the rear idler post from the frame. The left rear idler was toe'd in, and I believe that the shaft is the problem

What are you going to do with the shaft, get it repaired or replace it?

Once I get it out, I will check for straightness and then figure out my options. I'm sure they are avail from a few sources if I go replacement.

Safety Wire
That's some interesting safety wiring on the ring gear, pretty sure that will do nothing to help keep the bolts tight. Might want to have a look at this as an example:

Seems like everything is taking forever. All the brakes are done, bearings are packed and drums installed
Finally got the boogie assembly's off.  Pics of the first coat of primer on. Second has since been done, waiting on a few days for it to dry properly then onto paint

Got the frame finally in paint. Didn't paint the front bumper, i will paint with the body to make sure paint matches. Got the engine in a proper colour. I will test fire the engine this week on the stand.
On to brake lines and blasting the body panels, cleaning/inspecting the boogies etc. finally over the hump onto assembly
