Re: my '59 short bed build
you probably know already but try to do the lift part of things using frame spring hangers rather than a block between axle and spring. it keeps the axle from twisting and changing the pinion angle when under load. bigger block equals bigger change of angle and corresponding ujoint failure.
what is the track width of the truck with the wheels/tires you plan to use? are the tires gonna stick out past the fenders by a bunch? local laws dictate the amount of tire allowed to be visible past the fender width? just asking because a buddy went through this. depends on the constable and attitudes etc but could be costly if taken to task.
keep posting up pics, it keeps the rest of us interested in doing something on our own trucks.
