I do have nearly 10 years worth of magazines that I would have to look through to find the article. Maybe someone here will recognize it!
It was very easy to install and came with everything needed to put it in.

The rear is from a 69 chevy car and it's a 12 bolt. I've since had it shortened by Moser who also added a 373 gear with a Tru-Trac Posi. It also now has Ford big bearing axle ends and faxles.

I also put a big brake kit on it from Master Power brakes. And ran SS brake lines.

Here are the pic's!!

Chuckdriver,

What exactly does the MONO leaf Kit do for your suspension? Is it strictly to lower the rear or something else...Im looking to lower my truck..

Truck is looking good by the way!

Thanks,
