        To weld or not to weld bracket?

        Searching for a diagram of that bracket and not having much luck. Factory manual only shows fuel parts and not brackets. I think the bolt head the leaf spring is hitting is for a fuel tank bracket. Planning to weld the bracket in place and remove the bolt so the leaf will clear. Any thoughts?

              Is that your shop where the Chassis is sitting?
              So, still using free hosting on flikr. Found a curious thing when uploading. If using my PC at work I end up with these little pictures. However, if I do it with my MacBook they come across a descent size. strange

                            sweet !!!

                            PROJECT IS LOOKING GOOD

                            love it when the frame is freshly painted and

                            getting all the parts along the way,...

                            my 76 j10 had also had a set of deaver springs when I got it too

                            they had just been installed....

                            keep chugging at it.
