The axle looks really good, but you may want to rethink your lifting method...

It depends on wheelbase. I was going to pull my old axle off, measure and duplicate that.

that's true, mine is going in a b2. i'll prob just put the axle in, hook everything up, tack it in and then take it out to weld up the perches

I know the blocks are pushing it but it's a work in progress, heres some shots as it sits now I need to lift the front back up doing the swap raised the back up another 1" need to level it back out next weekend. I have 4 degrees difference between the drive shaft and rearend angles

Nice looking truck btw.

looks good!

i would say you should get some 63" chevy leafs, and super arc them, to give the same lift as you've got with those blocks, and move your shackles and hangers, to keep it all symetrical

That will be my next venture
