Sorry I don't have any pics, but I can offer a little info on the swap.

If you look @ your current shock mounts/plates on the bottom of the trailing arms, you can see how they angle 'up' from the bottom of the arm.... the 'new' relocation plates simply flip so that the hole for the shock stud is now below the bottom of the trailing arm. The upper mount gets the rivets knocked out & the 'new' ones bolt directly into the holes. The holes on the new brackets are raised slightly to gain more shock travel.

The panhard bar bracket slips in between the rearend bracket & trailing arm. You'll need to install that when your swapping the lower shock brackets. Then swap the shorter original panhard bar w/the 'new' longer unit & adjust the length of the bar so the rear end is centered within the framerails.

I know some members have had issues w/the panhard bar mount interfering w/their c-sections. If your truck is that low, you'll need to modify the panhard bar bracket.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
