Day 52a
I reassembled the front and rear leaf springs with new hardware and bushings. I added a leaf to the rear leaf springs to help with the planned extra weight (gas tank and 36 inch spare tire). I used an addition set of factory springs for the add a leaf. I cut them as long as possible, hopefully this wont hurt ride quality too much. Then put everything back together on the frame using new grease-able spring pins and bolts, and the shackles I made.

Day 52b
I didn’t want any metal to metal contact so I cut out some rubber mounting plates. These plates were used to go between the leaf springs and the spring perches and the top plates and the leaf springs. Then I put it all back together with new hardware.

Day 54
It’s been a few months since I had time to work on my project. I finally got back to work on it.
I installed the front and rear modified factory brake lines and the refinished hardware on the axles. Then I reassembled the engine to the reconditioned drive train. Next I added a couple of chrome pans, some fresh paint and new hardware. I almost have a rolling chassis!

The project is looking great. With the setup you are using what do you think your rear driveshaft length will be?
Damn!!!! and i thought i was on a good roll with my build..keep it up, great pics btw.
Unreal, well done! I may have missed it, but what have you used to coat your frame? Great contrast with the aluminum, bolts and the flat black.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
