Update - Axle over leaf spring mock up, looks better this time!
I got the front end back together and other than having very little clearance between the bolts and frame rails (2 inches) it looks pretty good. My clearance will only get worse because that is 2 inches with no weight on the front at all. The tie rod works fine (but it is close) and the scrub line is good (I even have an extra inch of clearance with both tires flat).

Got to get moving on this beast, my wife is due in July, and I am sure there will be little time left for hot rods after that!
Thanks,

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
