Re: 1959 GMC Fleet - 2wd to 4wd

I did change the 3.07 to 3.73 gears to match the rear. I did have to slightly change the position of the steering gear from 2wd position to a position to allow 4wd pitman arm to clear the frame. And I did change the pitman arm sector shaft back to 4wd.


I relocated the shocks. I am awaiting the odd inside passenger side leaf u bolt before I can raise the hoist.

And I have k10 calipers and hoses on the way.


I did remove the shortest leaf. Maybe I can drop an inch more with truck weight. I really do not want to raise the back 4 inches. 2 inches is closer to what I want. May play with front leafs a little more.
