Well after sitting on these F&R Scout 44s for the last 3 months, I finally got started. Today I Pulled the drums, drained the fluid, dissasembled the brakes, pulled the axles and cleaned up a bunch of parts. The axles look perfect. If all goes well, I will order the gears and lockers tuesday or wed.
I've decided that I will probably go with 4:10 gears, rear detroit front
tru-trak. Lots of little details to work out. but all in all it should turn out well.
