I found out that the PO removed the springs and installed leafs when I was under the truck and noticed my rear shocks were both broken. The tops were missing. So I started looking to see if I could find where they bolted to, and noticed that the top brackets were at a completely different angle. Someone on the board told me to check to see how my leaf spring hangers are attached. They are bolted in instead of being riveted. So as of right now I have no way to install rear shocks.

And I keep finding cloth rags or ripped up tshirts behind the rust that is bad enough to have rusted through... I don't understand why someone do that either... Lets put something in a rusted spot on a vehicle...That holds moisture.....
