I was 17 when i bought the truck, im 18 now. I bought it because i didnt want a beat up honda ricer or toyota corolla or some other peice of junk forgettable first car. You only get one first! It was an old ranch truck. i bought it for 650 and fixed it up over the summer. painted it myself and all that jazz. I have to do a write up on it, i have a ton of pictures..

Anyway, im tackling the gearing next so i can actually drive it to poker runs and stuff. 50mph is top right now and thats pushing it. So this axle may be to wide huh? assuming its not, whats involved. Looking at my dana, it looks like the axle is held on by u-bolts and a bracket under the axle, i cant tell if that bracket is welded on or just clamped by pressure. Is welding involved? what did you mean by moving the spring pad?
