Tahnks for all the info. I luckely found a guy up here who has 3 football fields full of old chevy truck potential and he had the stub shafts that I needed. I just hung the front springs and axle housing an hour ago.

I do have another question. What should I set my pinion angle @ for stock ride height? Maybe an easier question. Should the knuckels be completley verticle or when the correct pinion angle make them offset.
Oh and for future refference do not lay directly beneth the u-bolts when you are trying to put them back in....it will chip your tooth if it hits you in the mouth..living proof!

Disreguard that last question. After looking at for a while I have it figured out. Now that i got a new coat of paint on everything and new bearings and races in plus new ball joints hopefully if will last another 20+ years.

New Subject..
I edited the subject line because I now have a new problem. I apparently lost or the last person to take this hub apart lost the axle spacer washer. WHAT IS THAT? I am almost positive that is what they are called. (placement/location) Once the hub us assembled on the spindle there is a third snap ring grove on the stub axle closest to the spondle. Inbetween the spindle and snap ring is the thrust washer. I NEED HELP finding a new one.  :o Anyone out there with any leads would be doing me a huge favor....Thanks in advance
