4.3in84toy I moved the 53 perches in to center about 3" so they matched width between original 40 springs .welded them on same as they came on 53 -front side of housing - they fit on spring center bolt ok- looks like tire will be 1" or less off center of wheel well. I checked drive spline yoke it is 3&1/4 inches deep when I pushed housing forward to pearch, drive line stayed back in yoke 1&1/4 inches it should move both ways when road has bumps.
I have read post that 48-49-50-pass car with 6 lug axel will slip right in 53 powerglide rear so I can stay 6 lug? Anyone done this? thanks for your help I will post if problems arrise. Bill [img]http://[/img] [img] DSCF0030perchtacked.JPG [/img]
