I have two stovebolt projects going on I thought you might be interested in: (1) Installing a 10-bolt, 7 5/8" posi rear axle w/disc-brakes (90s Trans-Am, Camaro) in a 55 - 59 Chevy pickup, and (2) installing HD Jeep 2" leaf springs in the front of a solid-axle 55 - 59 Chevy pickup.
If there's no interest in these projects, I'll just keep my big mouth shut.

Are they close to begin with? What year Jeep? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 141 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 141 | Gazim,
I'm not looking for anything, now. I'd spent a couple of years looking for a posi unit for my '59 Apache to no avail. This rear axle I have now has 3.73 gears, a lockup differential, and disc brakes.
----------------------
Leon,
The springs I found are 2 inches wide, just like my '59 Apache front springs, and have an eye-to-eye length of 45 1/4 inches, 1 1/4" longer than mine. There are a number of options I'll have with these stiffer springs to get whatever lift I want.
