need some measurments please!!
im piecing together parts for my s10, and i need some measurments on some things.
first, a D60 axle with 35s and 4-5 inch backspacing.
second, a set of f250 or f350 front leaf springs. i need the length (front to back) of the leaf spring. i need a measurement of it on the truck and off the truck.
im building a chevy s10 on 350 axles with a 12v under the hood, and im trying to figure out where the back shackle will be...

well, i love diesels. especially the cummins. and i ran across the picture below the other day on the s10 forums so i thought.. what the hell. noone else has done it. at least not with a 12v. so ill box the frame and slap some beefy axles underneath and call it a day

Why not post this in the chevy forum where you found that truck....seems like that guys have everything you need, and he seems to share a common interest in the idea.

Hey bud, we don't want to run you away. Just your truck 
Really, it could worse. You could be using a Toyota body
Buy hey, at least your using Ford parts on that thing. That's one step in the right direction. Now you just got to swap the frame rails from a F350, swap the body for a Ranger, and swap the engine for a PSD and you didn't say what rear axle but I figure a 80 or a 14 bolt. Swap that for a Sterling. Then you'll be on the path of enlightenment...

And screw the psd unless it's out of an IH I'm to lazy to wire in a computer, so how bout an IDI, or a Ford (New Holland) diesel?
By the way, SKY Manufacturing has the hanger placed 52" from the shackle mount on there RSKs.
