I am also in the process of getting the frame ready to paint
I have welded a ground down nut to the rearward side of the axle cradle, and a collar with a set screw to the front.
The Idea is when the bolt is installed you tighten the set screw and it keeps the bolt from moving, forcing the axle to pivot on the bolt rather then the bolt turning in the frame...

Nice job so far Mike, I like the red and would go with the red/silver wheels.
I like the idea of welding the axle nut and will be doing such to a 70 project that I am currently working on. However I'm thinking that a large lock washer would work in place of the collar on the other side. Opinions anyone?
