Re: Converting a 2012 caprice ppv rear end

Get out the torch and cut off all the brackets and then take the grinder and clean up all the scabs. For stock springs you need 1-3/4 wide spring pads and proper U bolts.

Here, for stock springs this has everything except the shocks http://www.classicparts.com/1947-54-.../#.VyBa0kfSuX4 Not cheap but it beats trying to make stuff fit.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
