Certainly appears that you know what your are doing. I have not seen the use of the alignment shaft. But it surely makes sense...

This is for my 1958 Dodge M37, the spring perch width is only 28.5". The 4 inches brings the axle down to 63.8". I am retaining the matching rear axle's stock width of 65" stock.Quote:

My truck is at the upholsterer's getting a new top made with #8 Army Duck. I couldn't use a reproduction top with my modified bows. I also ordered a little electric windshield defroster for the mean time while I don't have a heater.
The top is finished on my truck. I picked it up this past Monday. After the rain we have had for the past few days, my wipers quit working. I have to see if it was the switch or the motor.

Top looks good. Think there will be any problem with water pooling on it since it is so flat?
On another note, your trees are not as red and orange as ours are 450 miles South of you. Looks like they will peak shortly here.
The top looks BA!!!! Almost like the truck is back in the service with a fresh flat top hair cut!!
I ordered a universal heater assembly from Summit. I need a heater in my truck, I want to be driving it. I still need to order a new wiper motor as the 4 months of rain prior to me getting a top on it did not do the old one any good. I opened it up and water just poured out.
My heater arrived on Thursday. I will finally have heat!! For a second time.... This one puts out 28,000 BTU vs 12,000 from the Mojave heater.

We just got hammered with 25" of snow in a 24hr period here in CT. So I took the beast to work... While plowing at work, this is what I came home to. 5.88 gears plus a Cummins 6BT is WAY too much torque for the snow!
