Awesome. Glad to hear shes going good. I took mine on a little 2 min off the main road/side of the 401 trail, and it felt good, but she needs a little love still.

I've been searching ever since I first saw the abandoned wagon, and i think i found what it was! I love it when they are solid and abandoned like that. Looks great!

Could it have been?

 

It sure looks like it

 

Gotta love that tree growing out of the hood, lol.

 

straight axle swap??

 

Yup, Dana 60.

Detroit Locker in the rear, Grizzly Locker in the front. I had a Lock-Right in the front of my first K5 about a million years ago and I loved it. It worked great, and I never had a problem with it, even running 36" tires. I had another brand of lunchbox locker in the rear of my '94 K1500 a few years later (EZ-Locker, maybe?), and it didn't hold up as well. It started slipping so badly, I had to have it towed home to the tune of $600. Finally, I had a Spartan lunchbox locker in the Dana 44 I put in the front of my Dakota a while back and never had any problem with that one either. I don't know if they don't last in rear axle applications, or that one was just junk.

Thanks! The bumper is cobbled together from a bunch of crap I had lying around. The center section is a Warn large-frame winch carrier, the ends are cut down from a full-size Chevy bumper and the grille guard, brackets, gussets, etc. are all made from scratch by me.
