Nice work.
We move the rear springs to under the frame rail with the pockets. It leaves more room for other things and works just fine. Last edited by Stefano; 12-29-2021 at 04:59 PM. |

What do you use on the front of the ladder bars to allow them to move rearward when the springs compress ?? I've read a fair amount about very harsh ride and brackets cracking if the bar can't move with the axle.

I put the doors back on and got them gapped to the body and then gapped the rockers and tack welded them.
I ordered these repro braces a couple weeks ago and had to fit them. They are a reasonable facsimile, but still needed hammer forming and bending to actually FIT where they belonged. Fully welded the patches and ground them to look respectable. Also, removed the brace bars. I need to fabricate a patch and flange for the left wheel house to quarter, so cut out the radius from a sheet and a strip to make this in 2 pieces. That's all for this week.
