    I recently tried to shim the rear end so i could order a cv driveshaft from tom woods however the shims even 6 degrees wasnt enought to change the pinion angle with such short leaf springs so i ended up cutting the perches off and adjusting the angle manually, im still in the process of getting the pinion angle where i need it. this was wednesdays progect.

    I am able to resuse the original tailgate and the windsheild frame and seats. im trying to keep it original with some slight changes like the lift, shackles, header, bored cylinders (.020). and then stainless fasteners and brake hoses.
