Rear suspension rework

A guy through instagram contacted me about redoing his rear suspension. It was a local shop truck he picked up and didn't realize how bad the suspension was. I don't think I am going to do much more than the rear on the truck so I'm not going to start a project thread on it but the pictures are pretty cool so I figured I'd share. I tried to bang it out in a weekend with his help but it is taking a bit longer than originally planned. Hopefully should be done by this weekend.

Here is the truck:



And here are the problems


All the suspension tabs were 1/8'' thick, bent, and cracked.

Piles of parts...Check out that panhard bar, 2 link, and offset bag mounts.

And they welded the two link to the axle perches, which were welded on one inch off to the side.
