Technical Casters for tail draggers

This is from @Sledge, in the Mexicali Merc thread...

 

Our house had a low entrance, Main driveway...It was fine for my F100 (low in front)
Then I chopped out the curb for a second driveway for my 100 foot gravel drive to the shop around back.
We poured an entrance apron on the hottest day of the year...concrete was drying as we poured it, seemed like...The low angle I had formed ended up with a slight convex, nearly invisible.
Built new front suspension for the F100, 1.5" lower. S****E!!!
Now I need casters in FRONT! (I can clear at an acute angle...)

 

Great post Big A, thanks for the help.....

I agree Mike if it doesn't s****e its not low enough. Casters in the front? LOL!!

Those are cool! Went to their website and they even have bolt ons

 

They're probably overkill with regard to weight-bearing, but they look great.

 

I fabbed a drop down crossmember off the frame horns on my bagged 36 Ford, where I mounted a ball caster to sit about an inch below the bottom of my grill's "chin". It saved my grill untold number of times until I figured out how high the "up" setting on the AccuAir needed to be. You can see how torn-up the ball is if I can manage to upload the pictures. Now I'm conjuring on how I should install some on the rear most crossmember. Sorry, I can't figure out how to downsize the pictures to load here.

 

I think I figured it out. To all you posters; Best regards and good luck with all your endeavors, KB.
