I spent some quality time with the torch, drill, cut off wheel, hammer and punch today and got the front and rear spring perches off. As long as I was there I went ahead and also removed the now useless gas tank hanger.





With the rear end out I was able to get some accurate measurements on the flange to flange width……I had been under the impression the rear end I took out was 58” wide but was happy to find out that that it was 60” instead. This happens to be within a 1/16” of the Dana 60 that’s going to replace it so I don’t have to come up with an extra 1” of back spacing on the wheels like I thought.

I’m also working a deal on a rebuilt 46RH right now that hopefully I’ll know more about on Monday.
