Smile I'm with you.   
40 year old shackle bushings are the devils work.

SMike, I would like to personally apologize for even asking you to try and do these bushings...

this is one of those labor of love tasks that only a vehicle owner should even attempt to do...

Yup...
Decided I didn't cut enough on side 1.   
Need to hack it up a bit more and grind down some chisel bits for the air hammer.

Ive only been able to drive to CVS and to work, but my initial impression is it rides better & sits higher..

What I ended up with:

-RANCHO 7000 series shocks.. they are monotube with a brushed zinc coated housing.. they look sharp.
  Nice firm ride for a top heavy narrow track truck
-Poly frame bushings and traditional metal/rubber in the springs.
-Military shacks in the front, standard ones in the rear..
-4* pinion shims to correct steering.. after 250 miles i'm going to alignment shop to have true readings taken.

Truck sits nice and level now.. we will see how the springs "break in" over time..
Still on the suspension to do list..

- Notch crossmember for front DS (still removed from truck)
- watch rear shocks with full load in rear.. (might have too much extension and not enough compression room)
- if this were a Jeep I would be looking for a high steer option.. don't know if there is anything like that in the rover world.
- throw a few tack welds on the shims to perches

Front crankshaft driven PTO...

of course my engine didn't have the correct crank pulley.. NOS part from some desert country
the adapter flange is still obtainable reproduction
Had the driveshaft made by a forum member down in NC..
still need to work on the correct keyway for the winch end of business.. but it was enough to spool the cable..

Still to do:
-need to create an engagement handle lock...
 (last thing i would need is some idiot playing with it in a parking lot and I take off and the winch sucks my truck inside itself   
-tow point on bumper
-need to fabricate winch clamps for the rear frame mount...  Have and original to copy..

some pictures of the crank adapter, driveshaft (hole through front frame) and original sees procure so you can get an idea of whats going on there...

lost the ability to hand crank engine... need a new battery :)
