Axel-Flip questions
The leaf spring/shock plates had to be switched. Left side to the right, right side to the left. This is because they are now mounted upside down so the shock stud needs to be to the inside of the spring. This puts the shock at an extreme angle. It isn't ideal. If one were to care enough, a dropped down shock mount would be much better.
I did this same thing 28 years ago to a 73 Swinger...
