Well I bought a K5 from a guy for $200 that had been in the woods for years. Bought a set of rockwells and went from there.
Day one a kubota tractor and some muscle to load it on the trailer.
Slid it into the shop to start the tear down.
Found a set of rockwells. Rebuilt them with new seals and welded the diffs.
Built some 4 link towers over the diffs for the upper 4 link bars.
Used PVC for mock up to figure the lenght of my bars. And I am using 1 1/4" hiem joints with tube adapters. My bars are 2"x.5" Dom upper and lower!!!
I had a machine shop mill out the 4 link bars so the tube adapters fit and had them weld them in. I also took the body off the frame to make everything easier to work on.
