All went well. The upper frame bushing are in great shape and move freely. Its the ones in the leaf spring eyelet that were rusted solid. Cutting the bolt and saving the hangers was easy. Now if the other front one is as bad, using just 1 shackle kit will fix the front. Shackle kit ...I will not need the hangers or the threaded casing.
The old spring next to the new. Now thats 4 front leaf springs for 58/59`s in one years time. the hardest part of this was fighting the old sway bar and shock mount. That kept slipping off the axle as I jacked it up. Solution was to vice grip them together just off to the side of where the "U" bolts monut.
