Update: After finally finishing the new front suspension components and the disc brake conversion, I got the tires back on an down on the ground. Maybe I wasn't paying attention before, but it seemed like the front end was WAY higher than it used to be. Measuring just inside both bumpers, there was a 5" difference in the height of the car from front to rear. After finding no apparent cause, I took the top bracket off the shock absorbers and gained 1/2". That got me worried, so I ran down to H.D. and got the 1" square x 3 ft perforated tube, and it fit behind the bracket like a glove. I drilled and bolted in place to be ready, but didn't cut yet. That was a good thing, as I managed to get it out over the top, with the transmission attached.
