got a little done today, at least the front springs. all the bushings, in the front end. Was a pain to do by bymyself, but hey I got it in regardless of 5 hours of rain and snow, and 32 degree weather.

Well the weather broke, lets go jack this thing up and start on the rear axle.

OMG WHAT A DAY, i was tearing the rear end down, when the last bolt that goes in the front of a leaf spring, snaped in the unibody., now drilling out, and retapping will be the first thing yll say, but look at it, it has the bracket for the outside of the leaf. so after a couple of hours trying to drill it oout sideways, I finally called fastenall and the had an 11 inch metal splitting bit. cost about 17 bucks but it was out within minutes.

WOW I wish I would hve had 1 hours ago. Anyway got the tires on it. its sitting on the ground and I still have to tighten all the control arms and leaf springs, I ran out of time to get pics. so tomorrow

There is a nut on the inside of the frame you can cut a hole in the floor and get the rest of it out with out drilling

thought about that but didnt want to have to put a nut back on it. I was able to reuse the factory nut mounted in there with a little tapping.

no cheesy poser shots yet, just finished all the bolts up, right now its 4.75 in the rear and 4.68 in the front. I took it down the road and back a couple of times, seems to ride great so far.

Time to start the welding and go get my wheels put on!!!!!!!!!!!!!
