straight axle kit from speedway?

has anyone bought the straight axle kit from speedway? just wondering how the quality is i seems to be a pretty good price thinking it would be nice on my 60 falcon so i can make room to put a 292 in it. Anyone have some pics of first gen falcons with straight axles showing leaf spring mounts and install. im pretty sure im makeing the front end out of 2x3 rec tube but would like to see what some of you have done to build a nice gasser. new to gassers only ever built early hot rods so far
thanks

 

TINGLER did his 63 fairlane with speedway stuff. it's on here somewhere.

 

I used a 46" eye to eye speedway axel on the 65 comet I built.The axels are decent along with the leaf springs......BUT the bolts and bearings are shit.I replaced all the bolts in the kit with grade 8 bolts and used good usa bearings. Heres a pic of the comet

 

My Speedway kit worked out fine. Sorry, no pics.

 

I have installed 2 Speedway and one from another company that were all priced acout the same, and the Speedway is of better quallity. When setting it up, set the car at the desired ride hi. (considering the wheels, spring arc and underside of where the rails will be) then set the axle ass. under the car. Once this is done, this will tell you where the car will really sit ( probley higher then you thought). Once the axle ass. is up under the car on a floor jack, rotate the axle to where the king pins are on a 6-10 degree back angle for best handling. Also look at installing a front end dampener shock as this will help at high speeds. You should be able to use the stock steering box. Bill

 

I am also intrested in some info on these. I have one under my '63 Falcon(was under it when I got it) and it has one hell of some negitive camber to it.

 

Mine did too. You have to bend it .

 

That's what I figured but I thought I'd use that as a last resort. Thanks.

 

I have a speedway under my 61 falcon. worked out fine, 7 degrees works fine. Sorry no pix. Cal
