The first pic is of the half ass leaf spring setup the previous owner "fabricated."
The results of the install was a rear axle that liked to move .75-1.25in from front to back.......it was great......
Thankfully my local hotrod shop has installed a 4 link w/ panhard bar and coil overs. The before picture also shows the shocks under normal weight.....there was about 1-2 inches of travel so every time I hit a bump i felt like someone was hitting me in the back with a sledge hammer. Ah well, all in all the car is clean.
