Re: Dunce's 59 Fleetside build

a bit more progress with a small setback...

-Fixed drivers door top corner that was mashed in
-Cut the front frame section off in preparation for the camaro (73 firebird) subframe only to find that my sub frame (passenger rail) is bent. Working on getting that fixed.
-So in the mean time I removed the rear suspension and mocked up the Fat Bar 4 link
-set the truck down on the rear suspension, front on jack stands to get an idea of ride height ect. From the pix I would say down another inch or two but its not bad.
-took some measurements for rear wheel tire combo, got that locked in. Can't wait to order those after getting the fronts figured out.
-Pulled the 12 bolt rearend out to get a posi put in and 5 lug axles installed

With my rear end out and front clip getting fixed I'm left with a long list of misc stuff I need to do until I can get back to the major items.

What do you guys think of how the wheel is centered in the rear? From stock it moved back about 1/4 inch with the 4 link install but I have some adjustment there if needed.
