We then did a TON of measurements and got the springs perches the correct length apart and then did the same thing with getting the perches back on. Got the jok perpindicular to the ground and used the angle measure. Got my truck(83 Long bed with 700R4) I used a jok out of a the mid80's pick up and then used a drive shaft out of a 1988 chevy pick up, 1/2ton 2WD 700R4 long box, and used a conversion rear u-joint. We also kept the drums in the rear and just bolted on the brake line from the Gm to the Ford. We also rebuilt the center section and redrilled the axles and brake drums and total it took around a week give or take. All in all I am very satisfied with everything. If you need any pictures of anything, just give me a shout.

Sorry I can't spell worth beans...
