Re: 1954 Chevy 1/2 ton Truck Build

Now I wanted to get rid of the leaf springs since they were crap. It looked like the tweekers took a torch to the springs and cut them to lower the truck, boy some people
I started by ordering a 4 link with the diagonal bar
First I cut a shelf in the crossmember for the 4 link crossmember to sit in


Then I put boxing plates behind it


It took about 3 days because there are so many measurements and then it seemed like by the time you get to the first measurement it seemed like it would move not to mention the pumpkin had to be up a few degrees



Then as you can see the rear end is sitting on the frame. More problems. Lol
I decided to C notch the frame and make it big enough so if I decided to bag it I wouldn't have to do it twice
