Re: 84 c10 stepside

While i was sandn/cleanin/sprayn, my buddy victor re did the 84 rearend i found on craigslist. He set it up for a spring under axle conversion. put in new brakes. took a saturday to get it in. when i took the old springs off one fell into pieces when i took the bolts out didnt look broken till i took it out.not sure what was difference between the 2 rearends but i had to have the drive shaft shortened and balanced/new universals got new u bolts and didnt like them the stock ones were beefier/still good. removed the rubber snubbers for clearence any lower and id have to notch the frame i dont think id put too much weight in the back. got up on the bed and jumped around and it werent bottom n out. i hooked up the old fence post taillight/plate mount on the rear of the frame too drive it to my buddys shop it was a cool drifter for a day.-jeff
