Dave, looks great. Let me know if you need any help for the weekends I hang out in VA (about every other weekend). I'm not too far from you near Orange and be happy to pitch in. Pete
The new frame came with poly bushes. I had bought normal factory style bushes for frame because o did not know the frame came with bushes. I used the poly and kept the factory style bushes for latter.
For the springs, unused factory style all the way around. For the larger eyes, I went to the spring bush website list above and ordered the correct size. I think they were $11 a piece - so not the worst. They look the exact same as the regular bushes - just fatter.
How much was involved with lifting the body off the frame as a unit? I'm mid project right now and not sure if I dare to go full frame off... but it would make me sleep better if I could do whatever frame repairs might be needed and galvanize before re-assembling
Lifting the body was easy .... it just took a lift. Joking aside, there are only a few bolts holding the body to the frame. If you have someway to lift evenly on the entire body - it comes off pretty easy.
