235/70 x 15 Radial T/As are what's on the rear of my '33 Ford sedan. I wanted a matching tread pattern on the front, and used 215/60 x 15. They...
This thread is almost old enough to prove that an SBC in a Ford is Traditional.
I think Borgeson refers to those as 3/4V. Micky69 is right - ford factory.
I understand that sponsors (advertisers) are necessary, but that show is nothing but ads. They hardly ever show actual work being done - too busy...
Just like the restoration guys would complain about making an old car into a hot rod...
X2 - vented
Looking at the diagrams, they are both describing the same principle, having the length and pivot points of the tie rods in line with the upper...
I used 4 of these tied together with 2x4's. When I was done, I just took the 2x4's off and stacked them up - they don't take up much room that...

Cool story - well written! And yeah, that bearded dude is ugly! I bought a lot of my parts from that guy!
I have one of their tanks in my '33 sedan. No problems, good service.
