Now the diff was in I went through the brake system and cleaned an lubed the actuators, The brake shoes had a lot of life left in them so just a cleaning and painting was required
 Cleaned, Repacked the wheel bearings and installed new seals and on went the brake drums. Moving forwards. I had been looking for a while for the dust seal the went on the brake actuator rod and found that a dodge master cylinder boot from the M37/WC worked great.

Now that was done onto the suspension, Wah Hoo. First was to install the cross shaft, brackets and rollers. As a side note since I had not stripped the carrier down I installed the shaft first and then went to install the rollers to find out I had to pull the shaft out to get the rollers into place as they would not slip in with the flat part of shaft in place
 . After that was done was to install the bellows dust seals, Lucky I had them from the guy I had purchased the carrier from and a previous thread on how they were installed.

Now that was accomplished it was time to get on the assembly of the suspension. I opted to bolt the main parts on and then install the springs after as it would be to heavy to install a complete component. I stripped the system a few years ago with a home built spring compressor at the time but really did not like it and considered making one from the Australian designed one but I made up one using a M113 track jack and it has worked flawless

Now that that has been done it was time to install all of the road wheels. As in one of the past posts I went for the larger wheel bearings and had spacers and sleeves made to install them into the wheels and the measurements that I got were spot on and the wheels slid into place perfectly
I will leave for a brief while and go work on it and will post some more info tonight.
