Re: 1963 Chevy 4x4 conversion

Made some more progress this morning. I got the front driver side spring hangar where I want it and got the rear shackle mount out to figure out how to go about fixing this/making it better. Couldn't get a good pic of the front mount but I'll try to get a good pic of the passenger side.



I'm thinking about cutting out that area and welding in a plate with the right sized hole for the shackle mount and also to make the frame flat right there (the frame kinda flares out by that back hole) and then making another plate to go on the outside for added strength. Does that sound like a good plan?
