Guys, I just picked up 40 ford parts complete front end and complete rearend.... wishbones drums etc I have a model a looking to build gathering parts slowly as the budget can afford... What is the typical conversion for ford40 parts ... I know there juice brakes which is great but in the front i wanted to USE buick finned drums.... Spindles mount on a model a axle ! Drums if a decide to use i really like the buick finned drums though. What if i used 40 axle and 40 rearend .... ? Also a 32 rearend minus drums backing plates ... springs and a couple of wishbones that need rewelding
Lotsa tech on here to help you figure all this out -- buick finned drums work with 40 ford spindles and backing plates -- just grap some hubs. Check out the tech pages.
