Things have been progressing slowly, but I should have the rear end done and ready to install by next week.
I had to have a guy at Chassis Service turn the driver side axle tube back into position, as apparently the plug weld broke loose on that side.
We then had them install a new Eaton 4-series posi and a new 4.10 ring and pinion, as well as all new bearings, etc.
Nothing much to see far as pictures go on that.

I also had to straighten and body work the original disc brake backing plates, then Kevin over at Nostalgic gave me a duplication of galvanizing like they looked in `69.
The floor plug is original galvanizing for comparison.

Is that the original KK? Now back to original?

Yes we were able to save the original KK rear, but it took a bit to make it right again.

My JD code engine is done, and will be dyno-run this Tuesday. (Finally!)
Video to follow afterwards.

Looking forward to the dyno run!!!!

I am planning to dyno/break in my engine when the time comes. Makes sense to me!
