Just picture Mr. Riggs at 9 years old and with red hair. That's Tyler, he's a great kid.

finially finially got to pick up the rear end from stewarts, thank u stewart, thank u corey and thanks to my cousin for taking the trip. wish we could have stayed around alittle longer. but his grandma is getten pretty old and she was by herself. so we was sorta in a hurry. i didnt know untill the last minute that big granny was there alone.

thanks again the stewarts.

now on to the rear end issue:

the hole in the leaf spring perch was much larger then the center bolt on the leaf spring of the 47. with the hole being to big will the rear end wabble back and forth? if it does then ill need to buy tires constatly right?
i can buy different weld in perches with the right center bolt hole which would eliminate the wabbling.

the springs on the 47 will they hold up to the power and torque from the small block and the pontiac rear end. if i use these springs i will have to re build the shackles on both sides. including the new leaf spring perches and rebuilding the existing shackles im gonna be out $100.00. :cry:

couldnt i take the lear springs and shackles off the s10 and replace onto the 47 then use the pontiac rear end instead of the s10 rear. i have a good welder lined up so welding isnt a problem.

all input is appreciated. its gonna be awhile before it sees the road anyways so if its smarter to use the s10 leaf springs and shackles im all for it...

I'll have to take a look at what you are talking about. I think you can get by with what ya have. I'll take a look sometime this week after ya get off work.
