Hairpin question?

[chopper tom]

what kind of spring from speed way?
I done the same thing on my C-cab but i used two small coil springs,it drove good but i wandered if i should have put a panhard bar on it .
Any of you guys ever tryed a coil spring set up?

You would need a Panhard bar for coils to make it tight.

If you have trouble with spring clearing the frame rail, take a look at a pair of arm off of a '49 to ''54 Chebby. They might have more of a drop in them.

As for the cross steering, Speedway sells a tie rod end that has an extra boss in it for your drag link. The problem you will run into is that it has an 11/16''-18 thread (Ford). This can be fixed by getting a LH tie rod end (also Ford) and retaper the steering arms with a reamer. Make up your tie rod and you're go to go.

mount them either way, but you still have to make sure you have the right caster built in
