Thanks for the kind words. I almost walked into a hole while I was trying to read them on my tiny smart phone screen in direct sunlight while walking across a busy intersection at rush hour.

On another note, the material showed up today. Forget to get a pic but will snap one tomorrow. It is a 12" long piece of 6061 t561 aluminum that is .75" thick and 1.75" wide.

Dad and I spent lunch hour discussing what we need to make the various cuts, and the small ridges that hold the bearings in place will likely require a custom tool to be made, or I will have to drop some coin on an "inside groving" boring bar and some inserts that will need to be ground to the correct width (looks to be 4mm)

I also plan to pull the current plastic transfer diff out of the 6x6 lst. I have never run it under power, as I never finished the build. I will continue the build thread for the truck as I complete this project. Need to make a chassis, steering setup, etc. I may go with the xxl chassis up front (the truck needs to be longer, YEAH).
