Re: Restomod 72 K10 "Good Memories"

Frame link brackets are installed. Required crossmember modification and a bit of welding. Axle link/shock brackets are trimmed and massaged to fit the new axle. Left bracket is pictured, right passenger bracket was designed to key into spring pad with a Ubolt, Spring pad does not exist on my axle. I cut the ubolt section off and will modify that bracket as needed. Idea is to modify and move link mounts closer to knuckles to avoid welding to differential casing. Welding to cast can be difficult and not as strong. Will see if this is possible. May still need to attach to cast section where axle tube is pressed in. New wheel studs and other odd parts arrived from Summit in one day. Can get temp wheels on axle to help in checking clearances before I weld up axle brackets and make link bars.
