October 8, 2011 -- Day 16

The reassembly has begun!


The rear springs are going back on the chassis.



Ok, my hat is off to who ever figured out how to put this thing together at the factory, and do it efficiently.  We fought with the rubber bushings forever trying to coax this shock into place with the the lower control arm and spindle.

 

The lower control arms were a snap to reinstall.

 


Now that is a good before and after shot there.  Old knee action shocks are so strange looking.


These springs were tough to compress because of the clearance with the knee action shocks and lower control arms.

 


OK, Here are some great before and after shots of the brake drum backing plates.


 



And here is one with all the brake hardware.

Almost ready to roll!
