1950 Stude Build

[dmw56]

Here the rear end from a 2003 Chevy S10 it fit perfect. Spring perch width was exactly the same. I'm even using the same drive shaft it turned out to be the exact length needed.



I weld the rear spring mounts to the frame reinforced with a piece of angle iron. The springs are lowering leafs, spring mounts, lower shock mounts and u-bolts are from Chassis Engineering.



The front spring mounts I made and are bolted onto the frame.

Very nice work. What rear springs did you use? Are they S-10 by any chance?

I got the S10 springs when I bought the rear end and tried them. They had a pretty good arch in them and it made the rear way to high. I bought a pair of lowering springs from Chassis Engineering that were almost flat.
