60-62 rear bolt-in kit

[psukraw]

I just joined this forum, but I have been a loooong time follower! Keep up the good work everyone!

I developed this kit about a year and a half ago, but I am now ready to start making small batches of these assemblies and wanted to see if anyone might be interested.....

Brief Details:
.188" thick material construction.
Retains the x-frame.
Converts trailing arms to a four link w/panhard.
Almost 100% bolt-on (requires welding at the axle)

Looks good to me aside from the lower shock mount.

Thank you, sir. What would you like to see changed on the lower shock mounts? This isn't challenging your opinion, but rather taking it as constructive criticism. I want to make nothing but flawless products.

Just throwing it out there. I just had a new 2 piece driveshaft built by Adams Driveline for my '62 Short bed with pipe notch. What did you do for a carrier bearing mount?

In your description you say that the lower shock mount is a layered design. It bolts between the lower bag mount and the bag. IMO that design will eventually break. It should be braced against the axle tube or the lower bag mount. It could be either bolted or welded.

I see what you're referring to and I agree. The lower shock mount has another face, that is not shown in those pictures. That particular face bolts into the side the bag mount.

Here is a screen shot of what I was referring too.

Thank you for looking.

i like it. i run a 62. would be cool if you made it without such a huge notch too though, for those that dont need to be that low, and want to retain some bed space.

Thank you! I could do that too. How much of a notch do you think you would need?

[Captainfab]

OK, that's better.

I put a 2.5" notch in mine of which the pumpkin pokes through at full drop. But now I am limited by exhaust so the notches are useless as far as axle would stop at frame if not for shocks or bumpstop. So before you cut consider this.

If someone can grab some measurements, between the top of the stock frame and the underside of the bed, I can sketch up some smaller notch options.

[LVPhotos]

The bed sits on the frame at the notch.

I'm interested pending price.

Would happen to have an overhead shot of the kit installed?

[DakotaKid]

ive already notched mine. I know id have to go into the box to get it lower. but i dont need to lay it on the rockers.
