Im workin on puttin disks on a 1950 Ford car Im buildin, I got the complete kit from R&C Suppily, but its gettin fusturating, cause even with the directions, I cant figure out how all the brackets, and steering arm are suposed to line up... Its almost like Ive got the wrong kit, but its close enough where I dont think thats the case... Any of yall done this before? If so, you have to make any strange modifications or anything?


And my gripe is with Obsolete Ford in OKC... They have shorted me parts a few times, always have stuff on backorder(when I was told it was instock) and have been given misleading information buy 2 parts guys up there that seemed to have no idea what was going on... And today when I found that they shorted me parts, one dude was a complete idiot, and a dick... Waiting to hear back about how their gonna handle it... Anybody else have symilar problems, and even more important, anybody else have a better source youd reccomend?


Thanks, Cory

Think every single HAMBer who's bought parts from O.F. has been slighted or wronged or screwed over in some way.

Damn!!! Another newbie who didnt know about Obsolete Ford. The warning oughta be pinned at the top of every forum. NEVER deal with Obsolete in Oklahoma City, OK!!! The worst business in America. You will NEVER get satisfaction from them. Even the people who live in OK tell me you gotta open the package and look the part over carefully, IN THEIR STORE, then decide if you want their inferior crap. Dales Manufacturing is the same business. NEVER mail order them. Who is R&C supply? You'd probably do better dealing with them but I dont recognize their name.

R&C supply = Rod and Custom Supply out of Flordia... Ive had decent experinces with them.... Have any of yall done the disk conversion on a 50' Ford?

I've bought parts from R&C before, talked with some of their tech folks too. Very knowledgable. I'd give their tech guy a buzz, I'm sure he can clear it all up for you.
