They turned out way better than I expected. It took a while, but once about half way done, it started to click and I banged out the second half. The right tool is the key (MIG with gas). Once the settings were adjusted right it went on like cake frosting.
Those are new ones from Firm Feel, their standard A-body springs. The rear end is new too, 8-3/4, Dr. Diff BBP axles, 3.23 gears and a sure-grip. Things are getting fun now, I expect to finish off the rear half of this project maybe today or so, then go after the front end rebuild.
