Done some more work.

Figured out how to use the stock motor mounts without modifying them....




Also got a rearend from a 95 caprice cop car with disc brakes and got it put in on top of the leaf springs....




I also learned that 4wd leaf springs have less of an arch to them, so I used some I had for some extra drop. Probably around 2" of drop, i'm not 100% sure yet because it's currently resting on the bumpstops. 4wd leafs are under the 2wd leafs....



My frame horns are dropped now....



And I set a few parts on and took a few pics. Also discovered a few things to do to get some of the parts to work in their new homes that I need to get to before it gets to cold....

It's not much, but I did something.

Cut the 2 pieces off the frame for radiator/support clearance and seen I also have to clearance the radiator support to clear the steering box as well....





Luckily this radiator support isn't much good so it'll allow me to get the clearance I need and then I can figure out how to do my good one so it looks good.

Got another center cap on....


Also got some more pics of the truck....



I think it may be the angle, but I really like the second pic of the truck.
