Yeah I don't have a build page but thought about going back to that thread and adding details about the swap. I'd be happy to offer help and answer questions. There is a lot of info out on the swap but I had to piece it together.

I will be piecing it together also.
Did you make your crossmember?
What did you do for your exhaust? I am hoping to use my factory exhaust with minimal changes.

I used a custom crossmember made by dirttrackracer..he's a member on Pt.net. it's a quality piece. I painted it chevy red/orange since it's unfinished metal and didn't want it to rust. I run longtube dynatech headers and their ypipe and the crossmember frees up a lot of space. I could run factory exhaust no problem..

I'm 2wd so all I had to do was swap the front yoke on my drive shafts and use a hybrid ujoint.the 4l80 has a much larger output shaft rpthan the 4l60..this is the yoke installed on the ds with the truck on the ground. No vibrations or issues at this time..

How

How much of a pain is it to do that rear axle seal? Last time I looked under my truck it looked like I'm starting to get some slight seepage on my driver's side rear axle seal.

You need to pull the axles to replace them, there's a few vids on YouTube

as much as i would love to say i did it. i didnt. my buddy is a mechanic, so i got him involved on this one. he had to pull both the shafts out to do it and then refilled with new diff oil. he said it wasnt bad, but that it was eating at the eBrake pads so it was inevitable that it had to be done. Took him about an hour and a half

Not bad at all Scott, and you seem to be more of a mechanic than most. I replaced both backing plates on my 01 due to rust and rot, damn salt, and not the 2 piece crap ones, which meant i had to split the rear. While i was there i did the seals since the axles were out. Most important thing I remember is to get the c clips in the right way otherwise they will slip off and bye bye axle...this was 7-8 years ago and i am by no means a mechanic. Get your nose plugs out tho...
