Re: my 50 build... why not?
hey chevy51, the marks in the driveshaft were because of a combination of wheel hop and axle wrap. (during racing) when i lowered the rear, i also took out one more leaf spring (3 left), which was one too many. i had 4 leafs on the rear previously, with no problems what so ever, so stick to 4 leafs minimum.
yes you do have to drill 3 new holes. on the first page, i explain which holes ya had to drill. very easy to do.
another thing, the cross member right under the cab gets REALLY close to the driveshaft under full compression. but i also have a big 4" driveshaft.
other than that, you should be just fine flipping it. just keep it to 4 springs minimum, and you should be able to put it through any abuse and be fine.
Wheelie, twas fun... your screen name is the next goal on my list. haha
