1960 Falcon Gasser axle install with pics. .

your's looks great! I'm starting an FE build for mine this winter for when i break the cleveland. I have a 428 shortblock laying around collecting mud-dobbers. I think I'll stroke it, put some blue thunder heads and a 6-71 on it. . I do like the way the cleveland revs though, it hits 8k real quick!

 

cool car love it

 

Cool build, love the Falcons

 

I'm building a 62 with the same axle you have. I have a stupid question where do the steering stop go? I have searched but haven't found any info. Thanks and very cool build.

 

Hi--looks great. I'm thinking of doing the same thing my 63 Ranchero. What adapter did you use to adapt the steering rod to the stock gearbox?

 

Have you raced the car yet? any video?

 

soon.. i am redoing the radiator, it was having some cooling issues.

 

I noticed you used the closest hole to the steering box for the the steering. I used the same one( the other one was cracked) but it seems it will have a very large turning radius. Have you had any problems with yours.

 

no it steers fine (for a straight axle). i dont do a ton of parking lot jockeying, and its certainly no grocery-getter but i can get it to go where i want it to..

 

Thanks for the reply. I found my problem, the caliper bracket was hitting the weld on the kingpin boss. Ground for about ten minutes and problem was solved. Hopefully I will be driving it in a few weeks.

 

Cool thread!!!!!!!!!

 

well, got it to the track.. broke the center section during the burnout but didnt catch it until the launch (@5500).

I guess this is the "find the weak link" process. I'm sure you'll get it fixed and back out there soon. Neat project.
