    he must have had it hooked to a wood saw, or something and thats the reason he has all that spring on it to keep it from jumping up and down when the belt turned. just a thought.

    Wow. All I can say is Wow.

    Not dumping on your truck, because you didn't build this mess. But the guys are right, torch the whole mess off, get a decent rear axle assembly, add normal springs, and shocks, and you will be good to go.

    Don't even think about trying to straighten out anything that is here. It is horrible and very unsafe. You were very smart in asking for help.
