Re: 66 4x4 my sons new project
Problem #1 of the day:
The center housing on the 14bolt is too wide, and the stock rear shock locations are too narrow. I would have to mount one of the shock tabs the the center casting on the left side. I'm not sure how I want to resolve this problem. I could a) make a whole new upper crossmember to for the upper mounts, moving the shocks outward more toward the insides of the frame, or b) try to mount the shocks outboard of the frame rails where there is a 3" gap between the frame side and the leaf spring.
Problem #2 of the day:
Like a genius, my new front spring hangers are in the way of the front bumper brackets.
