I removed the stock rear end from the 58.

1-7-12

Then I removed the rear end from the 86 Iroc. Then I rolled the 86 rear end under the frame rails of the 58. Should I fabricate new track arms and mounts for the coil springs and shocks and track bar. Not sure if the Iroc suspension will support the weight of the bed.

Decided to go with leaf spring and flip the axel.
Removed all unwanted brackets and mounts from axel tubes.
Painted axel with POR-15 Bought some new spring perches, and u-bolts, and centerbolt.

Installed the 86 Iroc rear axel in the truck today. Sits a lot lower. Has a competition rake until I install the IFS. Then it should sit the way I want it.
I still need to clean and paint the sway bar and make a mount for the ends.
Also weld the spring perches once the pinion angle is set.
Almost forgot the c-notch. Do you think 4 1/2" will do?
