    I have a 34 Ford pickup that I planned on running unsplit bones in the front, after working on the frame to fix rust etc... I removed the original cross-members, has anyone fabricated a new crossmember to use the ball socket for the unsplit bones? Or should I just install a CE cross member and split the bones?

    The prob you're going to run into is attachment of the unsplit bones relative to whatever driveline you're gonna run. Henry had about a half-dozen different wishbone lengths during the time Fords ran buggy springs, and since I'm ***uming you're running a different engine/trans than stock - that's gonna drive your 'bone choice.

    This is a picture of my ch***is whilst it was being built. The rear radius rods are joined with the ball end of a set of 37 front rods. The mount consists of a bracket with 2 bolt holes and a clearance hole for the cup to sit in. Use 2 cups one upside down, and you can support the front bone in the same fashion
