Re: '55Chevylover's 55stepside build up

I just tacked the axle brackets on so I could see what it would look like. I like it.
I took measurements I don’t know how many time to get the yoke angle as close to the right degree as possible. I even got the little wife to come out and look at it also. When I tacked the brackets back on and remounted the rear end, the yoke was wayyyyyy off. I had grind the tacks off and start over again. I finally got the angle set at around 3 – 3 ½ degrees and reinstalled the rear end and it worked out beautiful. I had a PROFESSIONAL welder come by and finish welding the brackets on for me.
