BY th way, isnt ackerman that football player for dallas? Whats he got to do with my steering?

Dang,after looking at these setups Im embaressed by my homemade ladderbar/coil spring setup. Im glad the bed will cover it.

I had to swap my Ford spindles side to side and put the tierod in front because with a 4" drop axle the tierod wants to be right where the radius rods are. I read in Speedway catalog to heat and bend the steering arms but man, it would take a lot to clear. Is this why people use split wishbones?

With my 9" rearend (from a ford p/u unknown vintage) centered on the frame the input shaft yoke is offset to the right by about 3". Are all stock 9"s this way? And do I a)center the motor and trans and let the driveshaft run at an angle,b) set the motor and trans at an angle pointing at the...
