minor update-
think i found the correct axle tube.
this came as a complete assembly, drum to drum, with a chewed third.
it is different from a 2wd rear - wider, larger brakes, w/ spring perches on top.
mabe some of this differential is useful....(?)

further update-
stripped the rear axle assembly, hacked some brackets off of it, metalglued some brackets to it, and gave it a coat of paint.
it looks interesting, and mabe will work out.
i took another picture of the progress, and hope to have the picthing figured out soon.
as always, looking forward.

so the suzitoo project slowly moves on, and gets lot of coats of lookin' at.
i am learning about these axles(and how to make them fit), and finding parts that seem right.
been cleaning up some hubs for the front, and adding studs for the spindles.

everything is just a mock-up so i can put it on the ground.

still collecting parts before that happens, but i'm learning stuff as i go.
looks like i need to learn about driveshafts, and slip yoke eliminators.
can't believe these pics show.

it'll happen- looking forward

still trying to assemble enough parts- thought i'd have her able to touch the ground by now, but.....
some things look o k but are actually quite different. wheel hubs, for example.
think i have some correct ones coming, that will help.
i've been figuring out some brake hose runs, and will have to figure out the rear abs brake system removal(?).
i'm gonna eliminate the front backing plates.
suzitoo is far from driving anywhere soon, but still looking forward.
