    57 chevy wagon rear springs

     



    Well I have heard this being done I've just never done it. I want to move the rear springs to the inside of the frame rails or to onder the rails. It looks like I can use the right side rear shackle brackets on the left and the left on the right but I'm not sure that how its been done. My goal is to run wider tires with out narrowing the frame. Any pictures of this or help would be great.

    They do make a kit to pocket the springs into the frame. The benifit of doing this is you don't run intoas many problems with fuel tank and exhast interference. Carlg
