Picked up this 36 Ford. Pretty solid truck. I've built a few but haven't had a thread on them. Looking to do this one for myself and enjoy it.

The title matches the frame. That being said the rear section was rusty so I'm going to be building off the front to the back
I've got an old drop axle a reverse eyed spring and some nice split bones. That with a flat crossmember and a little Z in the front should get it low.

Thanks guys! Started chopping up some 2×3×3/16ths tubing today. I want this to have about a 4 inch ride height with a 7.00-16 tire on the rear and a 5.00 -16 on the front.

Not much to see. Cut some tubing. Under the truck and balk half will be 2×3×3/16. I work in a body shop for a living. It's nice welding something other than sheet metal.
