Re: Project: Custom 71 4x4 hotrod

Got some good work done today while my wife and son were at the movies. Installed the 2nd rear leaf but realized I'll need to raise my jack stands or buy a set of taller ones to get my rear end under the springs. Also filled my four 3/8" thick shock tabs so I can drill the holes to 7/16" versus the 1" holes present. After some sanding should be able to drill these Monday. This will enable me to get my traction bar brackets measured and mounted this week. After wire wheeling my upper shackle hangers I'm also ready to drill their mounting holes with a hole saw and mount my front leaf springs. Would have drilled the holes today but realized the saw bit I borrowed is not a direct fit with my air drill and requires a special arbor.
