a ebody rear is not a bolt in


Well..... with a Wal Mart socket set, no it ain't! I shouldn't have assumed that the vast majority of folks that would attempt it would know that you need to move the spring perches in to the proper width after you take the center pin out of the leaf springs and flip it over to be on the top of the springs instead of the bottom. There's a lot of wiggle room in the rear wheel well area of the D series trucks and C or E body 8 3/4's fit great.
