Build wise I am going back and forth between a tudor style or get a old truck cab and make my own box if I can't find one and make my own frame. I will be running a quick change and running wide 5 racing hubs on all 4 corners. That's why I would like these chevy spindles the guy has because I...

That's what I'm kind of hoping with the dodge steering box this guy has that it's going to be reversed already.

That's funny you mention this my Speedway book just arrived yesterday in the mail just haven't had a chance to look at it yet. Thanks

Torchie, This may be a stupid question but I put an ad on craigslist looking for 28-38 ford front model A or sedan axles. I have found some but they all are of course setup with wishbones because that's how they come im assuming. Where or what years would I find the leaf springs I need to use...

I am from the Fox Valley area you??

Would it me easy enough to make work though with like a spring perch? Something like the picture I attached.

A guy just emailed me and has this setup he uses on Tbuckets: He has a 50 chevy 1/2 ton truck axle with 53 chevy car spindles installed as well as an early 70's mopar steering box and drag link all for $100. What do you guys think is it a deal? I am an early stages of getting everything...

That would be greatly appreciated. I hope were talking about the same guy his forum name is oldracer22. Thanks :D

Well after about an hour of looking I found it. Thanks for the heads up I PM the guy. Thanks

Or there's this option http://www.colemanracing.com/Spindle-Adaptor-GM-To-Wide-5-P4237.aspx . But I don't know if a mid 70" full size GM spindle would be any easier to adapt to a Ford straight or I-beam axle??????

I made a post in the suspension thread about this any feedback would be awesome. Thanks

I am looking for feedback and suggestions here guys!!!!! I want the rat rod look but I want to do willwood wide five hubs on my build. I was originally going to do IFS but that's not the look I want I want to due possibly a suicide setup with the ford straight axle. I also want to use willwood...

That's what I was thinking about doing I have an old quick change rear end, upper and lower arms spindles for them and wide 5 hubs for all for corners. The only thing is I don't know how I would get the old school look with an independent front suspension.

Looks a little rough for $2,500 IMO

Great info here guys I really appreciate it!!!!! I have a lot more questions but maybe a lot will be answered by just getting everything I need and start taking measurement. But how do you go about knowing how much kick up will need in the rear in regards to where the rear end will be sitting...

Wow thanks for the warm welcome guys!!!!! I have been browsing the build thread some really good stuff on there. Where would a guy start out looking for a tudor or old sedan body/car? I have tried craigslist can't find anything in the Wisconsin area??????? [S

I have been snooping around on here and have finally made an account as I am looking into building a rat rod. I don't want to jump into anything yet as I am trying to gather as much info as possible. I know I want to build a coupe or tudor style rat rod. My main concern and it's a HUGE one for...
