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.

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.
