The turndowns have baffles welded in them and are removable.

I have seen people use 1/8 wall, but I wouldnt. I think 3/16 is perfect, strong enough and thick enough to tap. 1/4 is probably over-kill, weighs a lot more and cost more. I think the biggest issue is how the frame is layed out, built, braced and welded.

It costs about 350 in parts to rebuild an entire f-1 front suspension, new king pins, leaf pins, u bolts, shackles, spring eye bushings, ect from lmc. I did all that and put new springs on and everything was nice and tight afterward.

Heres how I did my rear setup, the parallel links are on the bottom, and this is with the bags all the way deflated.

you should be using at least .30 dia wire for that, .25 is more for sheet metal work

Im jealous, I ussually keep up on cars for sale in Ohio on craigslist, but have been busy lately. Looks great just how it is.

Thank you sir!

I was looking to that generation chevy truck for a m.c., but they are a little bulky. What year mustang did you use, im having trouble finding a dual port manual drum one.

Are the cylinders you guys are using single or dual ports?

Anyone have any insight/experience on a good master cylinder to use for my all drum, non power setup. I would like to keep things simple, just a master cylinder, and not a bunch of valves and proportioning blocks. I have 1950 ford truck drums up front, and Chevy S-10 rear drums. I am going...

I generally don't like how the f-1 axles look fender-less when people adapt them to single spring. I have been considering rack steering, but will probably end up doing a traditional setup. The rear end is from a later model 4x4 s-10. I did work on it today and made some progress.

I like the s10, im from the toledo area.

I started working on this around last August, when I dragged all the crap out of some guys backyard/storage sheds. My plan is to make a fender-less old school truck. First thing I did was chop the cab about 3 inches, but the more I think about it, the more I want to chop it another 3 and...

I am from the Ohio/Mi area, have known about this site for a little while but never took the time to post. Mostly just used it to hunt down parts while I was overseas. Im into all kinds of cars fast, low and loud. I don't mess with anything but the chevy stuff for engines/trans usually. I...

i am in the same boat as you, the front spring i ordered from speedway for my 46-48 ford car axle is 2 inch wide, where my perch bolts are 1 and 3/4, i was just going to get 2 inch shackles and use a washer on each side of the perch bolt to make it 2 inches.

Thanks for the response, that helps much!

I have a 46-48 ford axle, the kind where the spring is mounted in front of the axle on the ends of the wishbones. I have seen companies that make the perches that allow the spring to mount to them and sit over the axle, but speedway only has them listed for 1928-34 ford axles. Will these also...
