I’m back building my hot rod. Decided to abandon my scratch built cab as it’s too wonky. Just gonna get the frame on wheels for now and then worry about a body later ( most likely ‘27 roadster ) I bought a suspension off of an old hot rod that someone parted out and I have square back Ford spindles and they need re pinned and bushed.. Is there an old timer way to fit them? I know big truck mechanics who probably have reemers 6x too big. also what do I have? This is all the stuff I picked up along with an old drop out center GM rear set up for the buggy spring. I most likely will go disc brakes in the front for safety reasons but I do have backing plates so idk. I have a clean and straight original A frame that I will box and put a reproduction rivet in crossmember in with the 7* caster angle built in. I’ll weld it once it’s located correctly.
