Hi All,
When you look at my '53 3100 from the side, it is obvious that the rear wheels
are not centered in the fender opening. Instead of being approximately
centered, they are about 4 inches to the front. Is this normal? if not, do you
have any ideas of how I might correct it?
Helpful info:
I just replaced the rear springs and noticed that the smoth pin is in the front
and the threaded pin is at ther rear of the spring. Since the new springs had
the bushings already installed, I presume that the springs are not in
backwards. The distance from the front spring eye to the "center bolt" (that
holds all the leaves together) is shorter than from the rear eye to the same
bolt. Is this correct installation or are they in backwards?
The differential is a GM with removable carrier, sort of like a F%$d 9".... but
it has GM cast into the housing. The locating hole is in the center of the
spring perchs, which are in line with the axle, not offset to the front or rear.
If there is any other information you need so that you could help me, let me
know.
Jon
