Spent more time studying and researching than I did actually fabricating the shock mounts. I thought all was good and it was currently sitting mid range on the shock travel. 2 neighbors came over and we bounced the frame and yes, I grossly missed the calculation on the shock compression. I am about an inch and a half off. For now it will stay where it is as I suspect that once they get air in them bottoming out will be rare.
The gas tank got some attention today. I tested it for sand blasting an it works pretty well. Talked to Joe and we are going to
Kreem the in side of it and roll with the old tank. Ordered 2 quarts of
Kreem. Getting pretty close to the cab. Going to start ordering parts soon.
I love your write up, I have a 67 and the axle has been flipped and I’m looking to do shocks as well. I know you said you were about 1.5” off on your fit. Was it 1.5” too short or too long?
