Re: T-Man's 58 Apache project

Progress is good, like the radius on the upper mounts, just that little touch makes a difference. I found a few bolts like that on mine when I took it apart, my lower door hinge pins were already in two pieces and the back front spring shackle bolts were a rattle fit. I would think about a piece square tube the same height as the bed cross braces between the rear spring perchs were the crossmember was removed. When loaded the top of the perches will try to deflect inward and might warp the frame.
