Re: Marks Diesel 46 project

Thanks guys for the encouraging comments. Here is some pics of the rear suspension. I used springs and mounts from a 2wd S10 and a rear from a 4x4 S10 that one of the guys at work was scrapping. I had to cut the spring perches off the rear because the frame width is different and I will weld them back on in the correct position when I get the pinion angle figured out. I cut the front spring mounts off the s10 frame and welded them to the 46 frame. I cut the rear shackle mount out of the s10 frame, cut a hole in the 46 frame and welded them in place. I put 2 inch lowering block on it. Should give it the correct ride height but it is hard to tell since I never saw the springs with a load on them.
