Stub axle installed. Trailing arms bolted into place very nicely.

Of course narrowing the rear requires shorter axles. From asking around, type 3 automatic axles are shorter on the drivers side and the exact length for this project...just not readily available. Sooo, I bought some used SAW axles and cut them down myself.
