Well made new rear rail extensions
I found a piece of c-channel I salvaged out of a no-name broken food vacuum storage thing a few months back, and held it upto to an axial rail, and was shocked how well they fit together. So I cut it in half, and it was literally the PERFECT length to the point if it was 3mm's shorter it wouldn't have worked..
Anyways drilled holes in them. I drilled the one side, and then I took the other ,and just taped it together, and drilled through to mirror them perfectly
I decided to paint them black... but yea that was pointless as you can see in the pic below as the paint scratched up to high hell even, and didn't bond well in others. Might be cause the primer can was real old, or due to the extremely high humidity and temps, but not like it matters as it is completely covered anyways.
I had to redo all the chassis stiffeners, and even the leaf spring mounts as the c-rail is a bit wider then it was with the bronze tubing. But yea this also brings the leaf springs into alignment with the mounts on the axles where prior it was a little bowed.


It is now really solid, and perfectly straight. The bronze tube wasn't perfectly straight, and it was crushed in at points a little bit, and would wiggle a bit back and forth so the wheels weren't' even perfectly straight. Also the holes on the bronze tubes I used weren't perfectly aligned with each other

Also the bed I made barely fits. I thought I might have to cut a bit of it up underneath, but its such a close with the screws that you can't even get a fingernail in between the screw of the leaf spring shackle, and the beds rail
