Clyde.....I plan to redo the frame while its disassembled. Clean it up, POR, new wiring, etc...alot of the parts I already have. New tail lights, pig tails....found some stuff last night while doing some digging. Tailgate, rear bumper and rear bumper mounts the 3 big ones to get. The shocks I will take from the 63 as I have new ones to install.

Do have a question as to the rear springs we installed. Moog variable rates....Moog shows them sitting as I have them installed, tight coils up. I have seen them installed both ways and have heard that it doesn't make a difference w/variable rate springs. Can anybody shed some light on this?
