Update:
Brackets are in for the 6 link
I've delayed myself again by deciding that I will use a obs axle
the Obs axle is 4" narrower and the same lug pattern as the Chevy front

rear suspension finally under way
still have to remove the spring perches and clean up the OBS axle
fron drivers side
the bar going across will be turned into a crossmember with driveshaft hoop
one side will be adjustable the other will be solid

so this weekend was an epic fail
friday i went to the shop to strip the obs axle and get it to bare steel and found out both torches were empty
sat i was so discouraged that i drank heavily
today i returned to the shop with the torch from work and it last about 2 mins before also being out of BOTH GASES
so i cut the 2x2 link bars to length
while trying to notch the ends to fit around the bar ends i killed 3 2" hole saws and 1 1/2" Milwaukee hammer drill before getting one notched
