I was wondering why you kept the old torque boxes when yo replaced the floor?
They come with the new floor and you replaced it so what did you do? Remove the new ones off the new floor to keep the old ones attached to the rails? Maybe because of them beeing already welded you preferred keeping these rather than risking to damage the frame rails when removing them?

Im just wondering as im jumping into this big job myself (once again!) and have always used the new ones that are on the replacement floor. Just asking as i might have missed on something or a reason to do it that way.... Always looking for a better way to do things!

Keep the work up, your getting there!!

He didnt keep it, the car is minitubbed and the shock location is relocated in the crossmember that you see. No more torque box

I dont think you are talking about the same thing as i am....

Torque boxes stay on cars no matter what you use suspension wise.

I'm talking about the "torque box" not a "shock mount" the part where the front leaf spring supporting "cage" bolts to after beeing attached to the leaf, and now where the front lower tubes of the Quadra link bolts onto.

You can see them in a few pics when looking at the front of the frame rails when he was replaceing the floor. They stayed on and there are no pics of them afterwards showing if he kept them or not.... Wondering? And why also?

Ps; Hey, its nice to see a fellow Quebecker on here, where in Qc are you located? Province or Town of Quebec? Maybe we know eachother.

Leadfoot I really don't know! I can only remember dropping off the full trunk floor and full floor pans to my buddy and he welded them up. I do remember that the torque boxes were in great shape after the car was blasted. do the torque boxes come with the floor pans for sure?

If you move them or do anything with them -- the "address" that was used to copy and paste then becomes "broken"....
