Re: Two Steps back. My high school chevy 1950 3100

So these pics probably will mean nothing to onlookers, but it is highlighting another lesson and issue.

I had the brackets on the rear end measure and welded on by a third party who was familiar with the code 504 kit . I received the part and set off to powder coating straight away. Silly me.
Turns out they are of and I wouldn't have noticed it unless it was hung on the truck and then measuring it. After staring at it, it became obvious something was wrong, and only then did I measure things. Whoops.

Test fit all your parts before final work! Lesson learned.

I have NOT fixed the issue yet. I will ultimately have to order new brackets and cut the old **** off. Try setting up the dimensions my self and then find someone who can weld well enough to do that kind of fab. And finally I will have to get it powder coated once again.
