I have made some more progress...

I wasn't happy with the leaf spring sliders as they looked out of place and were way longer than they ever needed to be...

They have been removed and a pair of traditional shackles were installed...

I drilled through the frame and added a piece of tubing with a 1/2" hole and welded it in...

Then it was time to come up with shock mounts...If everything was this easy I'd have been finished a long time ago...

Shocks from a 73 dart were used for the mock-up but are similar to the B Body shock...

All I had to do was drill the bottom sleeve from 7/16" out to 1/2"...

After installing the shackles I rechecked the kingpin camber angle and it is almost 10 degrees...
