Re: 2wd c/10 to 4wd shackle flip off
question: are any of the trucks mentioned so far in this thread been factory coil spring rear trucks? i think the coil frames were shaped different (wider over the axle, kicks back in to leaf truck width at the rear for bumper interchangability)

Re: 2wd c/10 to 4wd shackle flip off
just out of curiousity, what would be the issue with using the spacer? As long as its welded and boxed in correctly i cant see an issue with it. Im in the middle of this almost same project, 68 coil spring truck. Not quite swapping out axles yet, but almost there. And yes the frame does widen out over top of the axle on the coil spring setup. I will post any info i find man.
