    Thanks guys. Well i have been working on the frame, welding some holes up that the PO made and i had to replace 10" of the back of the frame. The PO had some how ripped the shackle hangers out of the frame back there then welded angle to the frame and welded the hangers back on, what a cobble job .I cut that all out and had some channel formed and i welded them back on and installed new shackle hangers. Should be ready to go to the powder coater in about a week. While the frame is in getting powder coated i will be taking the axles and tranny over to the sandblasters.
