[6pack] Rear Springs

[Steve Kirsis]

Thanks to all for the help with the new springs in my '70. I disconnected 
the axle fron the differential and voila, the TA fell about 2 more inches 
for a slick fit with the new uprated pads. It is very easy when you get 
great info from the group. 1 shock in took about 7 hours. 2nd shock should 
be about 1 hour. Steve Kirsis '70 damson, '75 pimento.
