Found some boots from a friend... He said they were Huge. I thought maybe 12-14" wide was pretty large. Well with these the thought of duels goes away.

Thanks Don!

So are Ford spindles the same on either side minus the arms?

Akerman can be adjusted with the steering arms. Take a string from the centre of your rear diff, and run it through the centre of your kingpin. Your arms should be on this line. So you can picture they will be closer behind the axle and further apart in front. You just have to keep in mind your...

I realized i have to move my steering tie rod in front of my axle to work with my airbags. Now I thought I heard someone ask this before but can you flip the original spindles right to left and left to right to move the tie rod up front? I think they are identical as long as you don't flip them...

Haven't decided yet willowbilly. I'll have a look at it and see what Im going to do.

My Dad and I finally got the rear end and the motor home. Nice to see a set of wheels under it, and to have almost everything ready to start putting together. A cool milestone in my book.

Thanks Tobby!

Arms are fine out front but may need some tweaks so it will turn properly. Here is one of the best informative videos I've seen on setting up a proper suspension. https://youtu.be/MpMgwbn6ctU

Having issues posting more than one pic at a time. Bear with me.

Here's the tranny. No I'd tag on it. C4AP on front of pump housing. 26 splines

Got to see what she's going to look like tonight. Still lots to do on the frame.

Been trying to decide how to build up my truck(1941 ford) Have a 1995 f150 donor with a 351w roller that I'm changing to a carb setup. Trying now to figure what tranny to use. The donor tranny is a E4od but is huge and heavy(250+lbs) and will require a controller, I have a used c4 but will need...

Looking for a general length measurement from firewall to radiator. Putting a 351w in my truck and just trying to get the front 1/3 of the z the right length, so far my wheelbase is 144"(too long for my liking). No room to have everything in one place till its ready to go in. My axle will be...

Well didn't think it would take as much time as it did, but I think I got the frame 75% done. Tried to build it completely from the original frame, but it didn't turn out as I hoped and a scrapped most of it and rebuilt 2/3 out of 2x4 rec tube. Still used the front 1/3 of the original rails...

Really starting to see the issues with this axle/spindles that WB had eluded to. With the 2.375" axle boss, there are no aftermarket spindle I can find. Trying now to find out the actual spindle dimensions to see if I repair my kingpins I can still use my spindles for disks without going totally...

Workin hard to get this thing stripped down. Body is almost ready to come off the frame. Got the front axle off and had a good look at the spindles. Kingpins are loose, so I'm thinking I may just get all new spindles disk bakes and such. Disk kits from speedway have 4.5 and 4.75 bolt diameter...

Been pulling apart my body and discarding everything that cant be reused. I have both my window regulators but they are in bad shape, rusted, wheels worn out, drivers side gear gone. Ive seen the gear on ebay, but what about wheels for the channels? anyone seen these?

Did some measuring. Axle has a round flange to the brake dust shield. Top to bottom bolts are 3.375" apart. Axle is 2.375" thick where the kingpin goes through. Bearing on bottom.

Hey willowbilly, I haven't looked into the spindles to much yet, but why are the wheel choices so limited? Are the spindles different? I was thinking of trying to retrofit some later model 5 bolt disks. But have yet to get them apart.
