Do you weld the u-bolt, the bracket or what. I got the picture from stovebolt showing the two pivot points but i'm still not clear what to weld. I don't want to mess up now tha I'm this close. If anyone has a clear picture of the weld and where its at please do an old man a favor and show me. I'm so close to having this truck ready for the R_O_A_D. I owe all of you so much now I just about hate to ask. I said just about hate to ask, so I'm asking. If a phone call would work better I will call if you send me a PM or if you would rather call I'll send you my number. Once again, thank you ever so much.

Maybe we can get a few pics of the finished project? Mine weren't anything to brag about- - - -just a few shots of an unmodified pivot system with some suggestions on how to fabricate a brace and weld it into place.

I've taken pictures of everything but they have to be developed (35mm) and then scanned to the computer then loaded on Photobucket. Lot of work while trying to get the work done on my truck. Wal-Mart said the pictures would be in Saturday. As soon as I can I'll put the pictures on here. As to being "worthless" I can assure you this. It has not been worthless to me. In fact it has been very helpful. Buying a $300.00+ camera and buying the last parts (driveshaft) for my truck on a fixed income is pretty tough. Just so much money to spread around. I hope this explaines why I haven't posted any pictures. I will if they come out good on the film. Steven | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | I understand,
Don't feel the need to go buy a camera. I'm sure a fellow Stovebolter who has made this modification will join in and post picture now that the need has been expressed.
Obviously the thread has helped you, that's exactly why the forum is here!
The forum is also here for others in the future to learn by reading/seeing previous questions and answers. I still stand that without pictures anyone reading this thread for the answer on axle pivot welding will be disappointed.
