Hot Rods Heat Dropping a Straight Axle with @NostalgiaSid!

Yes. He didn’t stay quit very long especially since Dayton is now helping.

 

Loved this! I'll need either an axle drop or a steering arm raised to accommodate my model AA axle with the '60 F-350 spindles. Just haven't decided which way the front end of my truck should sit. I've already done the reverse eyes on the spring, so there's an inch rake now. Not sure whether I want to drop another 3 inches or stay relatively straight up stock on the front.
Thanks for the video.

 

Sid is a great guy .

 

I have one of his axles under my F100. Cool video!

And I'll second and third what others have said, Sid is a great guy, and went out of his way to help me whether it was with parts I needed, or contacts to find them!

 

Yea I just posted the video, but it was from a few weeks ago!

 

That's good to know, I'm thinking about doing it and glad to hear it "drives like a champ".

 

Great video and very well done.

 

Thanks for posting. There’s so much more to dropping an axle than most people realize. I like to do everything in a build that I can by myself, but not this. They’ve spent countless hours refining their process and I’m happy to leave this part to Sid and Dayton.

 

I had him a drop a 1934 Ford Axle along with making a matching set of original 1940 Ford round back spindles arms. This was a good 10 years ago.

He always brings a nice selection to Pate & the LSRU.
