The Dust-Turd project.
Pulled the Dana out and cut off the upper and lower shock mounts. Needed to straighten shocks and lose the locator that was two 9/16 heim joints and a coupler(??) Rear end was offset to the drivers side by 1.5 inches.
Took a lot of time to cut and grind the old mounts off the rear end and upper cross member. Car was a leaf spring with a panhard bar/ wheelie bars, then a ladder bar coil over with the wheelie bars removed. Lots of leftovers.:)
Housing had a reinforcement on the right side axle tube so i added one on the left, welded on the new shock mounts
and boxed in the ladder bar mounts.
2 days of grinding, welding and painting later, ready to go back in.
Added adjusters to the ladder bars and a track locator.
