Re: 63 GMC Short Fleet
I found these U shaped peices on ebay they fit under the perches of the rearend no welding. I had to use different U bolts and the peices that where on the 84 doner truck where the U bolts bolt to I dont know what ya call them, I used cpp frame notches that bolt in, I bolted and welded them if I wanna go lower I can do a lowering shackle for another inch, or blocks, but I pleased with the results. I will get a couple pics for ya
