Hi B's & G's I don't know where to ask this question so here it is. I have been working on a 1954 3100 that someone restored 7 or 8 years ago. He doesn't drive very often so the brakes have leaking issues I intend to repair. When he first got this truck I noticed that the rear axle sets 3 or 4 inches further back than is should. It looked like someone installed a short bed on a long frame. And this is what we have been telling everyone. As it turns out someone installed a GMC rear diff and drive shaft for a long box on to this short box truck. I now know this because when I bought the rear wheel cylinders I had to get ones for a GMC. What I am having questions over is are the rear springs different? The axle seems to be rear of center point on the leaf springs. Is this normal? I don't see a locating boss where the axle should be (in the center) Does it have a locating boss for the axle? Or will I have to replace the rear diff,drive shaft, and rear springs?

I didn't do it, no one saw me do it, you can't prove anything! "Bart Simpson"
