Will do Jason.
As purchased:
Right now:
I spent all day pulling the old 7 1/4 axle, and I am pooped. Nothing like fighting with u-bolt wile laying on wet cement and being rained on. BUT I was triumphant and now the dead 7 1/4 is awaiting diassembly in my garage.

I can spin the driver's axle on the 7 1/4 and neither the yoke nor the passenger axle will spin. That thing is toast.
The 8 3/4 has been stripped and I have installed new axle seals. The next step is to swap the brakes from the 7 1/4 to the 8 3/4, and then I can reassemble the 8 3/4 using all new gaskets. Once the 8 3/4 is reassembled, I have to drill new holes in the spring mounting pads and then it will drop onto the M-body rear springs. Tomorrow I need to take my driveshaft to a machine shop and have them shorten it to match the 8 3/4. Then, finally, I can start reassembling the car. Before I put those u-bolts back on I am going to clean the threads of the bolts and nuts with a tap and die. Once the u-bolts are on the car I am going to cover the threads of the u-bolts with some vacuum caps to protect them.
It is taking longer and more money than I wanted, but it is coming along. I am always impressed at how solid this car is. Chrysler really went nuts designing this thing to be rigid and solid. One of my favorite discoveries has been the tiny factory chin spoiler bolted to the bottom of the radiator cross-brace. I'll keep plugging away and get done eventually.
