rear end troubles.....

ok, so i bought my truck wrecked, thinking that i would be able to build it cheaper... Wrong... (replaced the lp, ip and the rear end). Anyways, The rear end was knocked out from under my truck, so i put it back. Drove it for a few thousand miles, and the right rear wheel started howling really loud. So, i tore it apart, and found out that it had eaten up the inner wheel bearing REALLY bad. so i replaced it to get er back on the road. The spindle is bent about 1/4 inch off center. So i was never able to seal off the axel to the housing. Thus, leakin the 90 weight all over the place. Found out that the fastest way to fix it was to buy a new rear end. So i bought one off of ebay, and stuck under there. I will get pix on here as soon as a admin approves them. i know this really has no point, just thought id share it....
