I finally got the 7 1/4 rear out and cleaned up the area. The next step is to rehang the 8 3/4 axle on the existing springs so I can get measurements for a 4 link set up. I like RMS's set up but I cant pay $2000 for $340 worth of stuff.
I was under the car looking at the installation of a spring relocation kit because to not do that would waste the mini-tub.
It then occurs to me that you dont have to cut the side of the frame out if all you are going to put in there is a link bar. so I am exploring the geometry of a 4 link and will design on using the existing shock mounts and minimal frame alterations.
Here is a pic of the primed area, I am using a spray on bed liner product for the undercoating.
