I'm putting an early F100 rear (Dana) in my '30 Es*** Sedan. In order to install it with lowering blocks (spring under design) and get it as low as I can to the scrub line I'm looking to flip my u-bolts. Basically so the nuts and the end of the bolts aren't below the scrub. This is the piece I'm looking for. Needs to fit 2" springs and a 3" axle tube. I can't find the correct size on line so I'm hoping there is a specific application that the vast knowledge of the HAMB would know about. Thanks so much!!!
Another option would be to weld up a "hat" section lower plate that would wrap around the sides of the spring, the nuts for the regular U-bolts would end up next to the spring instead of below it.
Well Rich your idea might be the way to go. I've looking for almost a half hour now and can't find a stock 55-59 Chevy saddle anywhere. They are always in the diagram, but not available
you have to get them used, look in the hamb cl***ifieds see if anyone is selling old truck suspension parts. I don't think I have any extras.
I bet this guy would sell you a pair, If you can't find some cheaper/free here on the hamb http://www.ebay.com/itm/121113721822
