need measurements

Hello all, this is my first post on here but I have probably read just about every post on here.
I have a 73 Scout II that I will be putting stock Chevy 3/4 ton axles and springs under. I originally intended to put Scout springs and axles back onto it, but later decided to go Chevy. I broke rule #2 (planning) and didnt get axle centerline measurements
my question is, is it possible for anyone with this setup to tell me the measurements for the front and rear spring hangers as well as shackle holes through the frame. I am looking at doing the same setup as the ld Scout buildup, with the shackle reversal kit and dogleg shackles. Or it May be easier to get centerline measurements. Either is fine.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks jph
I just realized this should be in the 4x4 tech segment, sorry

I'll give you a very breif explanation - when performing the rs with GM springs move the fangs to the front of the frame. From their the leafsprings you are using will dictate where the hole in the frame for the shackle will be drilled. For parts please call as we have rs fangs for the 2.5" wide springs.
 
Thanks for the reply. Can I mount the stock 3/4 springs for now and then get the same year 3/4 ton lift springs later, or will they require a different mounting location. As for the fangs I will definately be ordering them form you, just dont know when. Also about how much lift to get 37's under it?
Thanks jh
 
You should be able to add the lift springs later. No perch movement is needed when performing the lift on a stock Chevy truck
 
Thats what I thought. I was just making sure that there wasnt a more ideal location an inch or two forward or backward. I only want to do it once. Thanks for the info.
