Finally installing original style Volga mud flaps and new shackle on Sammy the Volga…

Years ago the original mud flaps finally self-destructed and were never replaced. Last winter we found a new set about, like and or as close to original that can be found nowadays…

So I spent hours getting the left over bolts out and installed new flaps…

Then I spent hours installing a new longer shackle on drivers side. Now we are level again and we will have a set of new rear leaf springs made for next summer or so. Then I will install a set of springs…

Had to lay my body on the heavy bar to get spring down in place.

Then we had big delicious lunch…

Mud flap and shackle below…

Rides so good, seriously like new…
