Re: 1963 Chevy 4x4 conversion

I decided to shift gears and get the rear end finished up. As I was working on the shackle mount for the front springs, I realized I need to move my beer keg/jack stands so I can remove the transmission and crossmember so I can work on the inside of the frame there. I figured it would be a little safer have wheels/tries supporting the back of the truck instead of sawhorses. So yesterday I got the rear axle under it and bolted up. Today I took off the driver side spring mounts so I can trim them up (the front mounts are a little tall for the frame, I think they came off a 1-ton) and drill some more mounting holes in them.
