Re: 1960-1962 Lower control arms
just in case some of you are wondering how the notches got welded basically the center section didn't get cut until the red lines and blue lines were fully welded so it could support the frame the blue represents the other side of the frame as if you were standing between the frame rails and the black was the last thing that got welded once the center section was cut and it was braced from the top of the frame.... and of course the yellow lines is the section that was cut off...

Re: 1960-1962 Lower control arms
he decided he wanted me to run the bags on the trailing arms where the stock spring goes and just add the lowering blocks to the rear axle which he's gonna do on his own time and he finally order the ubolts btw so here is what was done i welded some upper and lower round plates to center the bags i used the same bolt hole on the trailing arm from the factory..... also got a five gallon air tank...
