My other project is an open wheeled 38 Ford PU. Using an old aftermarked T-bucket frame and adding a kick-up in the back. Anyway, I landed a 63 Econoline front axle and steering set up. Moving the steering column to behind the axle is not too challenging. I will just need to build a bracket to mount it so the turns the wheels the right direction. The real question is getting the drag link and steering arm in a better location. The steering arm bolts through the bottom of the spindle and curves around to the top. Reversing it does not look like an option, but I am not sure on that. Nothing obvious at Speedway. Has anyone played with this set-up? Any suggestions? The other issue that comes to mind is the pitman arm. Is there a stock one out there that will sit in the right position without messing with it? I know severl from the era look like they will fit.
Thanks!
