then shock mounts had to be welded on the axles in a different place still no problem .

last was the steering . i had to get a tapered reamer and open up the drag link hole from 1969 size to 1982 size .

she is driving down the road just fine now .

and the tires might be 19.5 since its a old u-haul and then had low load height trucks. 34"-35" is about the max height tire you will find in 19.5 rim size .
Can you post pictures of the swap, or at least just pictures of the truck in running condition now?
