We are going to do a weld in c-notch on my son's '82 we are building. We are going to keep the leafs for now and do a flip kit on the axle. We have it completely apart and I forgot to mark the rear axle center line

.

Does anyone have a measurement(s) on where to locate the center of the notch form the leaf spring mount or some other part of the frame?

What about utilizing the C/L of the factory rear bump-stop bracket as your reference?

That's what I was thinking of doing, but was not 100% sure that would be the center line of the axle.

Does anyone have any drawings of the frame like I have seen for the 60-66 frames over in that section?
