Might wanna do some research before installing those needle bearing kingpins.
That screw down below the spring too.
If you have an early 32 rear, it has a pinion without a bearing on the snout. If you have a later 32 it has a bearing. A 40 rear is no better...

I’ve got an old Clymer book that shows their process of narrowing the pedals and box for more room in the area. But, IIRC, the reason was to use...
Dodge or Chrysler or Plymouth. Or maybe all of them? At least one early/mid thirties Chrysler had a split windshield though.
