Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver

Spent a couple hours in the garage tonight getting the rear suspension squared away.

Decided to add some tubing to the outside of the frame and use the stock S-10 mounts. I could not find any external spring mounts locally and am not willing to wait. $10 in tubing and some 45 degree cuts and we are business.

I bolted the tubing to the frame using 1/2" bolts and will also weld it completely once done. I am also going to box the end of the tubing.Overkill probably......







I have tomorrow off of work.....so I am hoping to get this stuff finished and get the rear end prepped for install.

Got the word today that my Hurst Whitewalls shipped, and my Cragars will be here on Thursday!!
