pics of model A rear crossmember mod

I am looking for pics of mods to a model A frame/rear crossmember to use a 40 ford rear (spring behind the rear not on top)
Im looking to change rear of frame and use the rear as is.
Tried the search but didnt find what I'm looking for. Thanx.

 

Lenghtenthe frame 7 1/2 inches. Done!

 

The October issue of Rod and Custom has a feature car,1929 roadster pickup (Washington blue) that is using a 40 rear end. Frame has been stretched to mount the spring behind the axle and it keeps its original 103-inch wheel base. Might be of some help to you.

 

X2 on the Rod and Custom.

 

This is what I made to set it up for coil overs.
Hope this helps.

Good stuff... Anybody have a thought on using a rear T spring or a model A???
Putting a 4 inch drop front axle...
The one in the latest Rod and Custom mag said they had to z the rear 7 inches.
Wondering what I should consider in the
rear.
Anyone have some thoughts ???

 

I believe I have read here that the T spring will drop the rear about 2 inches verses the A spring. I dont know how it will change the height when changing from the '40 spring.

 

model T spring but you could make something similar for a 40 spring
