Re: 1963 Chevy 4x4 conversion
I got the front spring mounts finished up today and started work on the shackle mounts.
This is what was giving grief on the passenger side. The front was a little lower than the rear so I took it apart and put in a washer to make things right.
Passenger side is done.
The front springs mounts bolted in.
Started working the driver side frame for the rear shackle mount. I got it cut out but couldn't get a good picture. I'm going to change the location of it a little and then weld in a filler piece on the frame and then make a plate to go on the outside to be welded in. I'll have to do something like this on the passenger side too.
Once the front suspesnion is how I like it, it's all going to come apart again so I can paint it and install grade 8 bolts.
