Im looking for info on modify stock spinldes ....dont got 450 bucks to spend for fatman ...i can mig and tig very good....any help would be great...building a 48 fleetline btw...please help

 

how about stepping the control arms?
look up a thread on here i was reading one this morning.
you cut the lower control arm end off and step it up and re-weld it higher

it was for a 49-54 control arm though

 

saw that one ...was thinking same homie if i cant find some info

 

not too may ways around dropped uprights other than that. at least not much i am aware of. dont wanna spend the money on uprights and steering arms either and saw that today
looks like a good options, you say you weld good? sounds like up your alley
im not much of a welder yet myself

 

Usually you could flip the stock uprights . At least on fords you can . I'm not sure on the the 48 fleet line.

You could also think about z-ing the frame or channel the body a couple inches. Or both.
