If you where closer , I have a extra axle

I ground off my axle perches, rewelded them and had another bead put around the shock perch.

Bead blasted, all parts including springs.

Powder coated all parts satin black. ( 270.00 )

New 1/2 x3x5-1/4 S/S steel U-Bolts from Mcmaster Carr  13.65 Each

Added 68 Corvette Gabriel air shocks.

I have a small Nitrogen tank behind the seat to adj height when needed.

The bottlecaps look okay on any car other than an e30 it's weird, I think they look fine on your truck.

I have lines on two or three other trucks. Just need time to fetch em. And before anyone asks, they are all rust buckets.
