Re: '51 Build w/4bt Cummins
Finally got the springs and front axle installed last night. Had to grind out the inside of the spring hangers in order to get the springs to fit correctly. Also had to take a wire brush to the threads on the hangers so that the new pin would thread in (they were full of paint, rust, dirt, etc.). After I realized what the issue was, it only took about 30 min to get the springs installed.
This weekend we will install the new front brakes and rack and pinion steering hopefully. Still need to order spring perches and lower shock mounts for the rear axle.
