Looking really good there Don.
Easy fit… other than getting some assistance in dragging the frame into place, this was a one man job. On mine however, I have to drill one hole on each side, elongate one hole on each side, and drill a hole to properly mount the newer Center-Link.

Yessir, gotta clean and paint this frame before re-assembly begins...

Thanks Mate!!! I will post a similar pic once i trade out the rear-end… I'm aiming to have a bit of rake...
Need to remove the trailing arm set-up from the bent frame and use it to replace the leaf spring set-up… I've already had the GM 12 Bolt axles re-worked into the five lug set-up and the Dana rear-end on the GMC has different rear axles... No worries just gotta grind a bunch of rivets and buy suitable Grade 8 hardware to re-install on the straight frame.
