Re: 57 3100 front axle in a 46 - 3/4 ton
Axle is on --- I am putting 67 rear 2wd shocks (spare parts) on the front instead of the friction shocks. Had to change the axle shock mount around on the driver side and is a little more vertical than I wanted but still should be better than the 46 friction shock. I need to weld the upper mount yet on the passenger side. I will have to increase the tie thread on the tie rod as it needs a little more for toe in. Ordered a new drag link from Chevs of the 40's --they sent me a 47-52 which had the wrong clocking on it. Returned it and if they do not have the correct one will get one off the 41 1 1/2 ton. I am using the stock unsynchronized 4 speed. If you have better ideas let me know.
