Spring relocation.
Well here todays progress. Not much but some.
Fist thing I had to do was drill out the spot welds for the e-brake cable bracket. Spent 30 mins. looking fo rthe drill.
Then it was on to the scary part. Notching the frame rails. I clamoed the new boxes next to the rail and sribe aline. Then it was sazall time. I cut under the line so if it wasnt straight I cut straighten it out with out removing to much metal
Once the box fit snug in the frame rail I clamped it in and bolted the old front spring mount back in. Then I took a drift pin and ran it threw bolth mounts to make sure they lined up.
The rear part was easy. Just open up the hole that already in the rear frame rails to 1" and weld in the tube for the bushings.
After that was all done I spent some time cleaning up the floor pans and sprayed them down with some 3M undercoating.
I also got my batery kill switch mounted up.
So its coming along. Hopefully tomarrow I'll beable to bolt the rear back in and start on the fuel system. :cheers:
