Technical Lengthening a Ford wishbone

Insomnia

 

That's a great update, Very informative .

 

Better check a roof pitch scale with that last statement. A half-inch circumferential drop on a 46" arm will HARDLY result in a couple of degrees caster.
That's 'generous writing' that defies geometry.

 

buddy is dropping a '34 cab from a one ton truck onto '32 car rails...
he pointed out that the truck wishbones were so long... hmmmmmm.

 

1/8" per foot is 0.6 degrees. Better than nothing.

 

Man I wish the photos were still on this thread!

Awesome - thank you!

 

I wonder if someone with the right privileges could substitute the photos?
How is Mike @av8 going? He hasn't been on here for awhile, he contributed so much to the trad knowledge library.
