Re: 66 4x4 my sons new project

I finally buttoned up the axles today. Got everything torqued to spec, closed up the diffs, mounted the wheels and rolled them back under the chassis. It felt good to bolt them up and get to chassis back rolling on the ground! It looks like the front of the chassis sits about 2" higher then the rear right now. I need to mock up the motor, trans, and all the sheet metal onto the Fran to see how the ride highly site before I out new springs in. I think therear will need either a 2" or 4" lift spring.

I did also get the transfer case hung on new poly bushings. It's in there nice and snug.

Darkness forced me to stop for the day. I'll snap a couple photos tomorrow.
