Got the rear end back together, just need shocks and weld the spring perches to the axle tube which I will do when I weld a bracket in to support the front of the fuel tank

Excellent Dave!
Hows the ride height?
Jim, it's perfect after I had the new springs de-arched 3 inches, driveshaft is a straight shot to the tranny now.
Its best to have a few degrees of drive shaft angles, in opposite directions, or the u-joints will lock up from not moving. Gene

Sweet! Your knocking off items on the "before I can safely drive it list" in record fashion. You've got to be jazzed

The front brakes were a mess. Getting the brakes fixed, had 2 new hoses made today and a local company is re-shoeing the front brake shoes. I got 2 new wheel cylinders and front inner seals coming from back east.

New gas tank off of eBay arrived today, $107.00 shipped to my door, it's 11 gallons out of a mid 90s Suzuki Sidekick, fits perfect behind the rear axle. Since the tank is now behind the axle I got a fuel door off of a 1996 Buick Riviera which I will mount and weld into the drivers side rear fender
