Well the entire truck is outside, that's why I asked.

I've had it out once before. Lowering it with the box off must be a tad easier, I'd think...?

Where are you located ? Wondering how close one can weld near the gas tank (bed is off the frame). Do you use a asbestos blanket or something ??

Thanks buddy. Need a little welding to make sure the new/old steel works as one.

Promised a few pics of my progress. Took the truck down the street and felt good.

At least you're not a D fan !

I really appreciate your sensible and thoughtful comments !

Getting the left side spring to sit down on the axle gave me fits ! "The peg in the round hole". I never realized how much the axle could move.

I will NEVER try to do both sides simultaneously.

Weather didn't coop for pix today, but I managed to get the rear axle to finally align. Anyone who might have watched me would have laughed ! Do I lift the axle to get the leaf springs to lower ? Funny. 67 years old and I am still learning.

Save indeed. I will take some photos today of my progress. Fighting the weather lately.

Working on rear end frame repair. Slow but steady progress.
