Ran into a little problem with the bus. I bought some bushings for the bus thinking it had a 66 beam in it. Well I guess the beam was swapped out at some point and it has a 63 beam in it. The trailing arms are different and the bushings that I bought wont work. So I have to figure out what I want to do from here. Either find later spindles, arms, etc..., buy new bushings that are correct, or machine some sleeves for the arms to make them fit. As of now I am going to try the sleeve route and see if that will work. That didnt slow me down on getting the beam done though. Mano came over this weekend a few times and he was able to get a lot of welding done. Thanks again Mano for all the hard work
Now on to pics...
Here is the torsion narrowing welded up(both sides are now done)

Beam in
Not going to hit the beam or center pin on this one
Now I just need to get the bushings sorted out first and then I can cut the torsions. Hope to have this sorted here soon. A few other things were done this weekend, but I will post up pics when they are finished.
