Can see in this pic why the wheels have to change:
I now have all 5 of the AR "Baja's" and will hopefully be getting them down to the tire guy next week.
Old beams are out.
PO said "it's got some sort of posi up front" When I got the assembly out from under the truck the diff case has "913A592" laser etched on it. That number takes me to this page:

New DS beam is in, need some Right Stuff and some long shouldered bolts to guide the diff into place. Hope to make that happen this coming week.
I had bought the Autofab pitman arm thinking that it could use less bump-steer than it has. With both beams out that seemed like a good time to make the swap. Found that I didn't have the right size socket for the pitman arm nut. Figured that I had this 15" adjustable right there, that I'd give it a try. Took less than 20 lbs force to loosen that nut. Then I discovered that The arms are the same. wah! So I tightened it back up. Tight this time. I'll put the Autofab arm up FS along with the beams and the '96 4WABS Knuckle Assemblies when I get some pics of them.
The list is still long, but it is slowly getting shorter!
Cross-threaded is tighter than Lock-Tite.
