    What I have is a 35 axle(which Im going to drop) and wishbones. Im putting them on my 32 frame. What I don't see is perches for 35, they seem to be for 28-34. What am I missing? I'm new to this...

    The front springs and perches you see listed for '28-'34 will work for your frame, they are listed that way because they mount the spring over the axle. The axle from a '35 is the same basic forging used from 1933-'36, it has a narrower distance between the perch holes than the later ('37 and up) axles, even though '35-'36 had the spring in front of the axle.
    Spring lengths vary so be sure you order the correct one. You might want to look on line at the front end tips in the Pete & Jake's catalog.
    I might add that if you have the '35 spindles with your axle you may want to change to '37-'41 round back or '42-'48 square backs so you have more brake options.
     
  3. 1935 suspension is spring in front design.
    However the axle it's about the same as 33-36 so 34 stuff works
     
  4. Frodors types way faster than me
