Your on the right track. Some folks turn the leaf springs around which will supposedly put the spring center pin close to where you want it.

I used my old rear end and went with a later pumpkin.

....on my 37 I did just what you mentined. I made a plate with holes to fit over the center bolt and then drilled another for the "offset". I have not had any problems and I "stand on it" quite often!

Just remember, meaure twice, cut once.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
