Re: my '59 short bed build

thanks...looking at simplifying my design. 2x2x.25" square tube, welded to a spring perch and clamped to the axle with a bushing and shackle at the frame end. shouldn't be too expensive or complicated to build and stop any wheel hop.

i do want to be able to swap out axle housings to 1-tons later without too much work, and/or adjust the angle of the TA if needed, otherwise i know i could weld the axle end all together.
