Re: Spring Swap Thread - 1963 K15

So I got the kids home and bribed them to do my chores before the wife came home . I painted the front hanger, rear shackle eyes and all of the non zinc coated hardware. At this point, it went together pretty fast.

The '67 core support bushing worked great and I didn't think that I needed to cut the front cab mount so I didn't. Let me hear your thoughts on the shackle angle. Im not real sure what it's supposed to be.

BTW, using the 2nd bolt hole in the front hanger moved the front axle forward about 3/4 of an inch FWIW.
