Thanks everyone!
Hello all. A friend of mine bought a ratty half finished 62 to 64 Chevy II gasser that had this axle in it. It is bent back (or forward?) in the...

I like it, would love to stay with a mopar box.
What I beam is that, are the speedway steering arms a bolt on for 52 GMC drum brakes?
So I have secured a 52 GMC front I beam to use in my 50 Dodge gasser, and want to stay with traditional steering. The corvair reversed steering...
Hey, just thought I would share a couple pics. One of my 55 Royal Lancer, and a couple of my new project 50 Dodge fastback with 49 Plymouth nose....
