Don't say anything and we'll get along just fine.

I'm excited to say I have received the four link rear suspension I ordered through summitracing.com. It is the Heidts bolt on four link kit for the 55-59 Chevy pickup. I've been getting it mocked up but I am waiting for the coil overs before I do any welding. I don't want to have to notch the frame for suspension travel. For now or as shown in the pictures the axle is jacked up all the way to the frame just to simplify measuring.

I'm waiting to weld the brackets to the frame because they have a slight angle to them. I want to make sure the shock will still fit. All 4 bars have been set to the same length, but if the coil overs won't fit I will have to adjust the length of the bars to try and square them up. The upper shock mount with the kit needed slight modification to fit. As the truck is old enough I figured the frame wouldn't be the same for all trucks... after 57 years. So we drilled the holes out ever so slightly bigger but still extra motivation was needed to maneuver it into place.
I hope with my next post to include a picture of the truck in the driveway on all four wheels. I can't wait to see it.
