i've been in a long process of this mod on my 69/40
the plan has been to use the to 2 military wrap springs off two sets of rear 60 springs and mod them with some lifted 40 springs.
throw some 60 axles under the 40,and add disc brakes to the rear axle.
scout power steering is in the plan also.
i'll try to keep the thread posted as i get opportunities to work on it.
hoping to have it all done by april (a deadline to get the 40 out of the garage, for reasons i won't disclose right now)
i have the rear springs in and the rear axle in. i have changed the shackle angle from the first time i mounted them. i'm happy with the second mounting and the shackle angle. (hope i can get it out of the garage)
as for the front.
i have all the stock hangers removed as of tonight.
the front axle has been together for some time now. it's just been waiting for its new home
next will be outboarding the new Ruffstuff hangers.
just a few pics
