It should be mentioned though that I tend to work the **** out of my lowered truck regardless :D so that's how things get bent.

Thunderbird body going to the blasters on my 20' car hauler, project at my lil bro's hot rod shop

2 full years that was my every waking hour, man I never shoulda shut it down. Went to FL to help my lil bro out with his place and ended up wanting to kill him within oh about 3 months. ;) But yeah strictly GMT400 nothing else on the lot. They're all I handled and I generally kept about 35 trucks there at a time; that's all I could really fit on the yard without making it too crowded to move around.

The spring plate is side ways, those round notches go on the axle. I did an axle flip with weld on perches, but reused the spring plates. You can see how the plate is supposed to go in the pic.

^^^ above involves cutting the original saddle off. Much better to just use the correct U-bolt and plate setup for a flip kit.
