Hello all,
I have just acquired my first Willys. (ha, this site thinks Willys is spelled wrong) Anyway, the previous owner replaced the rear end with what I believe is a GM 12 bolt 6 lug truck rear end. I suppose I will have to remove the cover to see what year it is. Knowing the ratio would be nice to know as well.
So, the leaf spring is mounted on top and I would like to move it to the underside. The back end is about 4" higher than the front which has the original (I'm guessing) parts. This makes it look a bit silly and not to mention too tall to fit in my garage.
As long as the perch is parallel to the current one, wouldn't this be fine? There is no drive line to worry about as yet. I will have to ask questions about that in future posts.
Thank you. Go newbies!
