Going to go look at a 1955 Buick Super hardtop. Looking for some info on any trouble spots they had. Do-s and don't-s. Up-s and down-s. It's a...
Well Rich your idea might be the way to go. I've looking for almost a half hour now and can't find a stock 55-59 Chevy saddle anywhere. They are...
Thanks Squirrel. Never would have thought of that or that they had 2" springs.
I'm putting an early F100 rear (Dana) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] in my '30 Essex Sedan. In order to install it with lowering blocks (spring under design)...
That's what my buddy and I were thinking.
Well even though it turns out it isn't a tow bar I would still like to do something with it. Even if it's just refurbish and hang in the garage....
Thanks for the link squirrel. I looked it over. There was a couple that was close.
The pieces are definitely cast or forged. Ya made way to well to be farm built. I figure there was a hard wood tongue of sorts
Saved this axle from a junker. Came with a bonus piece. I assume that the bonus piece is a vintage tow bar. Picked this for $40.00. Does anyone...
Thanks. Its a place to start.
296 V8 Which Dodge rotors did you use on your 9" rear?
Yes I would like to stay with the 5 on 5.5 pattern. Thanks for the heads up on the Dodge rotors. Dodge never entered my mind for some reason. I'm...
The only reason I would use the 32 spindles is I would like to use what I have hubs included. If I can save them. I would like to try a disc brake...
I noticed this stamping on the front passenger side this morning. Is it of any significance??
deuceman32 If I end up looking for 32 spindles how much would you want for a pair?
There is a weld just like that one on the other end and the other steering arm is cut short and a small weld from it to the axle top
If I make a clean cut should I be able to make up for the missing material with some extra shim washers?
So do I ask for '32 kingpins or are 33-36 the same??
Every time I walk around his yard I see something different. I found that because I saw a wire wheel sticking out from under a piece of plywood....
So if its a heavy what was it under? Truck? Or a V8 model?
Woops these didn't come through in the first post.
I picked up this axle today for $40.00 from the junk dealer down the street. I've been looking on the internet for info and I thought I would just...
Well I have been looking around and the bushing on the trailing arms that go around the axle is called a C-bushing. Apparently you can get then...
No. I don't think the caster is right. I took it for a ride this morning and it doesn't self center. When you wrote this
Yes it is manual steer, Bronco box. Actually the frame is rear halfed with the Bronco frame and the front half is model A. Its made with two model...
Checking on a Bronco sight now for specs. Only have taken it for two rides since fixing the floppy box. Will take it for another ride tomorrow and...
Is there a particular year I should be looking for? If it makes any difference its a 9" rear
Just what I thought too, wire wheels. Going to look at a set tomorrow actually. Any tips on what years might be best??
Ya I was going to look on Classic Broncos for the specs. I have received alot of help and usefull info from the HAMB so I thought I would start here.
Well I traded my '34 Ford RR for this Model A a couple of months ago. It was put together quite well (even with the Chevy doors) except for the...
