Hi all. I recently purchased a '59 Apache that was lowered in a VERY unprofessional manner ( my opinion)

The front was lowered by removing half the leaf springs and flipping the axle so the leafs springs mount below the axle. The rear was lowered by also removing half the springs, flipping the shackles and mounting the the leaf springs below the rear axle ( pictures of this to come later ). Whats worse is the fact that the rear axle is resting on the frame itself, the leaf springs and shocks are not really even doing anything. I have sourced both front and rear leaf spring assemblies and have already started my resurrection. Here are some pics of me removing the front axle assy and what it looks like afterwards. So far I am very happy with the progress
