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?

Thanks, it is a triangulated set up. I have read what your saying about other set ups but didn't know if it was correct for mine. Thanks again

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.

thanks smallfoot, nice looking ride you have there

That's what I was thinking also, as far as a build thread, no not yet, still trying to figure out how to upload pictures. just got the truck up to my new garage last Wednesday, still have to wire the outlets and run the power out to it, may be a slow start on it as garage is 60 miles north of...

I have a 468 ci BBC but am thinking turbo ls 5.3. Probably around 500 hp. Probably hit the drag strip a few times with slicks, but 99% will be just street driving on weekends. Been talking with people on trans. Probably 700r4. Rear would be 4 link I think. Still trying to find out what would be...

I wonder what amount of hp they can take. I know the newer ones have disc brakes, which I would like, just need to measure my stock rear end to find one close to it.

hello, looking for advice on what rear end to swap into my new project, 46 ford 1 ton, was thinking a 9 inch, and also want to get the cab to sit on the ground when parked, which I think means air bags. anybody with info on what to get to do this ? thanks, rat rod newbie.
