front view...

 

also got a new to me rear end...

 

so stoked...

 

nicely blasted

 

juice drums along with Firestone Nostalgia 16-5 tyres for the front rims... I want to run 16-4.5/16-5 up front and 16-???/16-8 for the rears. What rear rim size do I need?? I wanted to go with Ford OE steelies from the 40s, what u guys think?? I was looking at 16.5 up front but apparently very unique/rare only on 41 merc, and 50's ford trucks... All kinda lip/ears/nubs and stuff on the inside outside to keep track of so I said screw it...

 

5-5.5 bolt pattern

 

shackle

 

side view

 

came in one package with the links also

 

finally feel like I am getting somewhere. Need to install k-member/X-member and strengthen the frame... Weld engine mounts and all kinds of fun!

 

Need to plasma cut the doors for a good blasting

 

PO tacked on a sheet patch...

 

need to cut all of these to get to the guts

 

inside looks foreboding...

 

I'll give him an "A" for effort...

 

this is rough... what am I doing?
