Featured Hot Rods 35/37 ford truck chassis thread

Thanks so much,now I have a better idea on how to do it.
I ***ume when I tack the mounts for the split bone sand mock the axle in possition,ill have a better idea on how long the new spring will need to be,also I'll have to heat and bend the perch mounts.
Here's another idea

 

Be aware of your caster when you are making wishbone mounts and possible crossmember changes.

 

Yessir.
And so it starts

What Is the name of that gasket between the trans and torque tube? Thanks

 

Any reason why they would notch this ?

 

I have these sets of pedals..the one with the big box bracket came from my 1940 dodge monteplier,,it would be so cool to use it with all the linkages and stuff

 

Easy way to put in a svivrola engine in it.

 

You can use the '37 pedals and fabricate a master cyl mount like V/8 Garage does.
Little bit of metal and hardware; low cost and easy.

'39 pedals fit with a little trim to X member opening. Clutch linkage matches and it has a master cylinder mount. '39 pedals usually cost $$ tho.

'40 pedals work too; but you need to add the Z bar and change the throw out shaft. '40 pedals don't cost much; but more work involved.

 

This is why people build street rods or just do frame swaps..
**** all this old ****!

 

Those old things drill out pretty easily.

You want a cool car, you have to earn it. Or if you want easy you could go hang out with the Camaro guys.
