Re: trying again, 8,.75 shock plates

[Darwin <65Val@xxxxxxxxx>]

Neal....7.25 plates wont work. You'll notice the axle tubes on the 7.25 are
smaller diameter,hence the plates are drilled with holes too close together.
I believe all 8.75 shock plates are the same, so a set from any body style
should work.

Regarding the leafs, I would think they are too narrow, but I'm not sure.
You might be able to weld a filler piece on them to shim'em out.
