Welded them in. Glade I Di it. Looks better I think.

Yep, I set it and engine at 3 1/2* . Do you think i should put a piece behind it back into frame? I don't know what type of pressure that bracket will see. Getting closer, can't wait to drive it. Thanks .

Here is what I ended up doing. Got a truss for rear end which let me install the upper links in the center of the frame. Thanks for all the help. When my steel arrives tomorrow i can start to fab rear air bag mounts. Thinking of going behind rear axle to keep room for larger tires if I ever go...

I just re read your post about inward or outward, I will try the other way.that should work if I weld in a cross member.

Well I just came in from trying to get the bars on. I am having issues and my brain is fizzled trying to figure out what to do. I am using a Ford 8.8 rear end. The center housing is off set about 2". The lower bars are no problem, but the uppers are messing with me. I can't get the bars the...

Thank you.

OK great, last question is my bar length. Mi en are close to 26" center to center. Should I buy or make some longer?

Hi, working on a 46 Ford pick up cab and front end with a 40's dodge box. Building a new frame from scratch. Has Mustang 2 front suspension with bags on all 4 corners. Front end is done. I set front ride height so arms are level. My question is about welding in the 4 link kit I have. Read many...

I do plan on chopping it, want to read a lot more on how to do it correctly, found a 40s box without fenders i may go get.

well after looking and reading I decided not to do a 9" rear end. got a killer price a Dana 60 so I bought it.

love the patina of this front end.

starting my first build, got a 1946 ford 1 ton, minus motor and truck box. current plans are for a turbo 5.3, 9" rear end, chop, bags, possibly channel, and still unsure about the rear box area. still figuring things out, but this how it started out.
