That rear looks so nice I just wish you would put it on a shelf and put a 9 under the truck.
I really hope for you and the sake of "don't fix it if it ain't broke" the axle gets you some miles and passes but I would be chewing my nails off if I were you.
I really aspire to someday be proud to show picks of my truck and consider them near the level your truck is at of fit, finish, and quality.
P.S. That is allot of switches for under-truck neon!

I'd just like to take a moment to thank GM for that bad *** coating they put on the truck frames.
I got tired of looking like a grease pit everytime I worked on anything underneath the truck so I decided last weekend to strip all that **** off the frame before I painted the 4-link brackets and bracing that madman welded in. So I started at the back and started working forward. Seems like the more I get off the more there is. That **** is nasty and gets everywhere. I've been using a razor blade to get the bulk of it off then scrubbing with brake clean and a towel. This is the best method I've come up with, although I did break out the 4000psi power washer today and hit it with the 25* tip. It gets if off, only problem is that it blows it all over everything else. Anyway, I've spent about 12 hours scrubbing on the frame and have about 90% of it done, ruined two pairs of shorts, 3 shirts and the wife let me hear about that **** getting tracked into the house. I've used about 8 cans of brake clean so far and I'm pretty sure I've killed about 40% of what brain cells I had. I've breathed enough brake clean fumes that I'm pretty sure I'm immune to HIV now and my lungs feel like they're dryer than the Sahara. Lotion on my hands just turns to powder. I've been in the house now for about 3 hours and I'm pretty sure I'm having withdraw symptoms as I now have a chemical dependency for brake clean. Thanks GM and sorry for the rant!
