Hello... I am in the process of modifying a `57 chevy. I do not wish to have a "in the weeds" car even if that is the current trend. To raise the rear I intend to weld new spring perches on the top of the rear axle housing as opposed to the bottom where they are originally. This will enable me to mount the rear end below the leafsprings instead of on top. The front on the other hand... I do not wish to use the "classic gasser" straight axle. Many years ago I remember someone using spindles from a 50`s or 60`s Chev or GMC 2wd pick-up and turning them upsides down and switching sides to side, and still have a functional suspension. Anyone hear of this or have any ideas?
