Pic 04

350 Chevy V8 and trans on the way out.

Pic 05

Leaves a big empty hole.

Pic 06

We need to find the centerline of the existing axle. Line the square up to the center of the kingpin (both sides) and make a mark on the frame.

Pic 07

Move the mark 1" forward. This makes the wheel fit the finished wheel opening better. File or hacksaw the mark so it dosen't get cleaned off.

Pic 08

Unhook the spring shackles, shocks, brake fittings and steering.

Pic 09

Then roll everything out from under.
