Holy Moly - looks like you will have some serious fun ahead of you

 

Wow, looking good so far. And quite a bit there for the money spent. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

 

Put your tie rod behind the axle if possible.Im interested to see how you fix the quarter panel.

 

I plan on beating one out of sheetmetal

Is it supposed to go behind the axle??? That is how it was installed when I got the axle???

Yes put it behind or your handeling will suffer!

 

Does it just flip end for end?

Yes, just remove spring hangers and turn axle around. (you could say axle's going backwards now...Just turn it around)
Also just consider a Model A frame. Some kickup at rear O.K., just a little more 'conservative' than the 'high step'? 4"-6" is usual.

 

Is there a way to determine what year my front axle ,spindles are?

I ran into a little issue today. The rotors that came with the axle, I was told was g.m. a 68 Camaro seal fits. I believe I need a spacer to go from ford spindles to g.m. bearings. Does somebody make and sell just the spacers for such a thing?

Thats a model A axle.
Spindles look like theyre 40 Ford type. If I look close at the picture they almost look aftermarket specifically how chunky the one at the passenger side looks on top but might just be the picture
Edit:
Woops! After seeing the last pictures posted they definitely arent 40 spindles. I coulda swore they were round in the first pics. Sorry.

 

Here are a few pics

Those are 46-8 Ford spindles.

Usually, when installing Chevy hubs on Ford spindles, you need to machine a little on the spindles for Chevy outter bearings. Simple though.

Definately NOT 40 spindles. Those sure did look round in the first pictures. As posted they're the late ones.

 

2 steps forward, 3 steps back!
