This isn't a problem on the Classic. The springs sit over the rear axle.
The stock spring seats rest on top of the axle tubes and are held on by
a single 3/8" x 1/2" long fine thread bolt. The top of the axle tube is
drilled and tapped for the bolt. Simply put the seat on the new axle. I
did that when running a Jeep D35 in my previous 63 Classic wagon.
