Hi, I thought I would run this by the HAMB since I've been cogitating on it for awhile and haven't found much material online...I was given a '54 Buick ch***is many years ago by a friend who has since p***ed...I cut it up and saved the front spindles/brakes and steering. I always planned to use them in a '50's style all Buick build for sentimental reasons...a few years later I was given a '32 Buick model 50 front axle and it seemed like a match made in heaven the spindle bosses seem roughly the same etc. but unfortunately the KPI is quite a bit different...does anyone know how I would go about this ? I do still have the '32 spindles...does anyone know where i could find info about the spindles? maybe the 54 backing plates and hubs could go on the '32 spindle? Or could the axle be bent tighter near the bosses without ruining it?
The I beam axle could easily have the king pin inclination altered. I would mock the components up before altering the axle.
