Got the rear suspension (aka caveman 4 link) stripped out and the rear end grinded and prepped for new correct spring perches. All this metal is destined for the recycle bin.

Side by side of rear springs, I removed 4 of the 9 leafs since I am putting the axle on top and don't need the extra leafs hanging down.

I'll be interested to see how this works out. Like you, someone got to my rear suspension and pretty much hosed it up. I've been working on cars for more years than I care to admit to and some folks "fixes" still amaze me.
When I finally get back on mine, I'm going yo try to use some later passenger car springs and hanger I have laying around.

Those do look nice, are you planning on painting or covering them like the originals?
