Could I just get my question answered and not hijacked? Simple question, I gave the parameters, 60s look, maybe slightly lower with a spring...
I'm a retired Auto Instructor and run a Mustang Restoraton Business . I don't understand what a dropped spindle is??? WTF ?
My '30 Pickup HotRod. Looking for an early 60s look, so a little lower would be fine, but not dropped spindles or anything. I have standard '41...
I found a pair of F1 backing plates, so I'm good. They work with my 64 drums. I clearanced the spindles for the brake hose and painted everything....
OK, so starting in '52 station wagon would be 11" . maybe at least the V8s? 6 bangers too ??Thanks
I was cross referencing parts and such, looking at brakes shoes etc . and see 11" available for those years. It may be a station wagon thing. I...
Is there any reason I can't use a '53 car backing plate? I know the cars came 10" and 11" and with 2" brakes as well. The 11" backing plate looks...
Then you need to do a little research before you say that. You are totally mistaken.
I started this post with the fact that I have '64 drums. That is what I will be using. I do need to find some backing plates that will work with...
I have the bearing set from Speedway for the aftermarket spindles and F100 drums. I was just wondering when the change took place within Ford.
I guess the '56 and older style is what everything says works.
OK, then they increased it again because the '64 is definitely 1.375

I have some '64 F100 drums I'm going to put on my '30 Ford pickup Hot Rod I'm building. I bought some aftermarket "round" mount spindles that many...
Ridiculous response LOl Reason is 3rd is 1:1 in a SROD. In a 5 speed, 4th is 1:1, same difference. Shifting from 3rd to OD or 4th to OD is teh...
I found this on an old thread. Perhaps this is my answer. "The A pillar mounting bracket on the outside of the rails was relocated to...
Those weld nuts are pretty neat. I've always just used a regular nut and welded. But I like those. So on this topic, I have a question and...
Thanks everyone. Yes I thought the front cowl mount would be a place for an internal nut. I'm not sure if I am running fenders, running boards,...
I'll take that as nothing to worry about?
Why not make your own?
For those who have build a Model A Rod before . . what might I want to do in regards to welded nuts inside the frame, before I box it? Where...
Rusty, I restore cars and trucks for a living now. I specialize in Mustangs, but do many different vehicles. I also am a retired teacher,...
Thank you. I'm a little less ignorant :) I guess something like this?...
Question about these aftermarket spindles. They sell them as '37 up. But they are round and have no place for a tie rod. School me :)
Double sump pans were used with Fox cars, starting in 1979. trucks had a slightly similar version. But everything prior was single sump. And you...
Could I get some details about how your swap went, engine and trans, pedals etc? Maybe contact you through PM or something? I'm just starting out...
Old thread but I must comment. The gears in a 4 cyl T5 and a V8 T5 are exactly the same, in a Mustang. What changes the ratios is the input shaft...
That is beautiful and the exact same look I'm after. Any more updates?
Right, and then the earlier drums is basically just a different size for the hole to go around the hub. The hubs got a little larger in '64. If...
Pretty cool Dan. Chopndrop . .right, it is mentioned often. And what I'm saying is, if a '66 works, so does a '67. Anyone ??
