Another quick question for you all. My rules are not allowing you to weld the bumper on. They seem pretty open on how you do it. I cannot however tilt or seemweld the frame. They just don't allow you to add metal. I am thinking that hardnosing it is going to be the best option. Let me know what ideas you have. front bumper? If so make sure and use the shock too if you hard nose. A little trimming and some pounding and you can get it in there pretty far then weld it end of frame and then weld bumper to the frame/bumper shock plate! Yes front bumper. I meant to say you can weld bumper on... so shove the shock in the frame horn, weld the part sticking out to the frame, then weld the bumper to the shock part? Would this be considered "stuffing the frame"?

I picked up a 82 Caprice wagon DIESEL. It's already been a PITA because it being a diesel and getting my sbc 350 to fit to this BOP 200r4. Now today I seen their are no rear shock at all, their completely gone just the could springs are left. Is this gonna be a problem or what would you suggest. I'm not sure what's the best way to attach leaf springs, I dont see a good place to mount then

I guess I should have asked, is there any place you can put the 9 wire on these to help the backend to fold better? Not real worried about the front end it's rock solid.

If your swapping to a SBC, give Monster transmission a call for your adapter plate. The 200r4 in these are supposed to be a beast cause their geared low, but I have never ran one so well see.
