I'm sure someone will argue why it's bad but has worked for me.

If he's going to drill and relocate the spring locating pin he will need a cobalt drill or harder. Spring steel is tough stuff. Carbide would be best but cannot be done with a hand drill. The drill will chatter chip and break, carbide is harder than a whores heart but brittle to shock. Cobalt is the most cost effective drill that will accomplish the goal.

I think he's meaning he drilled the actual perches welded to the axle.

Oh I thought he drilled the locating pin in the leafs.

Also above when I say by hand above I mean without the aid of at least a drill press.

Screw drilling leaves-- just use a carbide cutter on a die grinder if you ever need to open up a leaf spring hole. Drilling them is possible but only with a DP and a colbalt bit-- it's a nightmare though.

My thoughts exactly.

So I finally got around to installing the econoline Saginaw. Are you guys that have done it making a new high pressure line or utilizing the econoline one?

Maybe I should have looked at it before I asked haha. Van line worked great. I'll tell you have the core support pop out of the way makes working on the engine so much easier.

As much as I wanted to replace the pump, lines and box with all new, not in the budget. Hopefully it all work for a few trips haha

Little bit of wiring left and the front is done.

Looks bad ass man. I really like the tube core support.

No more A/C....

Plenty of room for the smog stuff though

Thanks Robert. I always planned on it. It's funny thinking about a project is always easier than actually doing it haga

How close does your rear axle come to touching your fuel tank through articulation?
