[Second Series]

Progress is slow, but steady. I’m lucky to get 2 hours a week in on this. I noticed the rear shock brackets need to be moved back. The axle bumps and spare tire hanger need to be moved back also. The passenger side shock bracket is mounted to the frame where the frame transitions from wide to narrow. The bracket will need to be narrowed to move it back. I cut a V out of the bracket and welded back together. The driver side shock bracket is rear of the axle, so it won’t need to be modified. I will need to modify a cross brace though. I’ve removed the axle bumps, the other shock bracket, and the spare hanger. Once I got in there and started removing things, it looks fairly straight forward what needs to be done. Fortunately I am able to pull up the bed wood to gain access from above.
