Hi everyone i have ben lurking here for a while gathering ideas. I am looking to build a 1948 f1 into a drag/street/rat rod (somthing like boneheads truck.) my plans are to build a 2x4 frame and to redo the cab. It will have a cut down bed and it will be powered by a 460 with a c6. The rear will be a 9 inch and i would like to put power steering on it. I'm debating on running a leaf springs or a four link rear what do any of you think. I have a 1941 ford truck front end that i am thanking about using. I would like to run a spring behind with hair pins. but I'm not sure if it will take the stress i plan to put on it. it will have disk brakes on the front but i am not sure if i would be better off with a parallel front end or not. I still want it to ride decent. Also it will have a full interior roll cage and probably racing seats and harness. I'm going for light and stupid fast but i don't want to compromise safety. i am also going to have power brakes. Sorry if my list is scattered, organization is not my strong point. Feel free to give any advice or cautions that you have.This isnt a current project I'm just trying to gather all the parts and my ideas first. Thanks for reading.
