Does setting the spring boxes in the frame weaken it, strengthen it or remain the same? (That is of course discounting poor workmanship factors such as inferior welds and/or materials)

I bet that guy about hung himself when the values started to skyrocket because that car was cutup and stripped to be as lite as possible..

IF I went to the trouble, and thats a very big IF, It would be purely for looks... (I know, I know) I just love the look. Probably wouldn't tub but I would like to stuff the fattest tires I could get under it

Ohio	With a set of Dr. Diff's offset spring hanger kits you can bolt a B body width rear end, (2" narrower than a stock E body rear)under an E-body. Complete bolt in deal, no cutting or welding. With the correct backspacing this will get you a 15"x10" wheel under the car and a good size tire. I'm shooting for a 325/50-15 drag radial.

Remember to use a 68-70 B-body housing, as the 71-74 as wide as the E-body.

Axle got new perches, and leafs got new hangers. Stock axle width then? Yes, just used wheel back spacing to squeeze them in there. Cut the old perches off, and welded new ones on.
