Re: '67 Stepper "Laymond"

Didn't really do much to the truck this past weekend. Started to spend Friday evening out in the garage but decided the couch was more comfortable. I was out in the garage Sunday for a while but mainly changing the oil and some maintenance to the Tahoe. Progress will more than likely be very slow in the next month or so as work is about to get crazy busy.

I did fool with the truck to the extent of the rear end. When I set the truck back down after installing the c-notches the rear end was not centered causing one of the trailing arm u-bolts to come in contact with the frame. I fooled with it a bit yesterday and even centered, one of the u-bolts still comes into contact. It looks like if the rear end went back an inch or so it would clear but not sure a) how to do that and b) would that cause the rear wheel to not be centered in the fender. I was not planning on running bump stops on the rear and didn't think I had to.
