Re: PROJECT: How would a Chevrolet dealer build a shop truck in the early 1970s?

The one difficulty was that the minivan suspension didn't quite clear the lower legs of the hoist when I tried to slip it under. A little rocking and sliding and I was fine, though.

I was glad to get the parts in hand, but a few other smaller projects will happen before I swap cross members, axles, and get new wheels.
Sorry if I missed it in the first set of posts, but why are you replacing the front and rear end? Just curious.
