Did king pin springs and bushings old ones didn't look bad so I doubt that was my problem. Got my new steering arm on and moved the cap to the drivers side.

Had to cut up the u bolt plates quite a bit because of the zero rate. Also had to drill out the pass side spring pad for the center pin.

didn't like the shackle angle so I moved the front spring eye forward one hole in the b52s. Thinking im going to have to get a new front driveshaft made but we'll see.

Ran a new passenger side front hard brake line and a reward rear hard brake line, then worked for an hour or more on bleeding the brakes still nowhere near where I want them but I have no leaks yet so that good.

Looking good! Lots of progress. But one question. In this pic, you cut away a good portion of the plate.

Aren't you concerned about the axle shifting?

There's 4 for sale over where my CUCV Blazer is sitting on Apple Ave in Muskegon Mi lol.

Truck looks good, are you going to keep the wheelbase as is?
