Stripped the 59 rear frame hangers and overload spring stops. Next I took squarebody frame rails I had removed all the crossmembers. I removed the lower lip of the squarebody frame sections so I could clamp them on my 1959 frame. The square body frame sections are just templates and allow me to locate the rear axle location. Once I’m happy with wheel in fender placement I can center punch frame through the leaf spring bracket holes. I removed 2 rivets from each bracket. The square body frame rails will be removed and I will bolt the squarebody leaf spring perches to the 59 frame.

Truck is on its own four wheels. Rear end will definitely be coming down lots. Way to much rake.
