I haven't figured out how to post multiple pics but this was the beginning of me putting an apache axle under my 55. I didn't sub frame it like most people do. I boxed in the front of my frame and built mounts for the leaf spring bolts. I'm planning on sub framing the wife's 4 door 55 wagon.
Nice work guys. I too am building a g***er look car. Just dug out my narrowed Econoline straight axle that has been hiding in my garage for the last 34 years...Bob
