Hands on your buzzers..uh..NOT that buzzer..( preverts..) This is a four part question...ok..READY players..? Now looking at these pics can you tell me where to place my rear radius rods..? Closer to the center of the axle..but just even with the outside of my frame..? The measurement from the the center of the axle to the kick up is about 30 inches..what length radius rods would you use..? Would in interfere with the cab being dropped..? Speaking of the 3 to 5 degree angle of the rear end..Is the rear end pointed down..correct ..?Ok..now for the final question...( This is for MEGA bonus points..) Is she hot or WHAT..???

:D:D:D:D I vote for radius rods on the last photo! Oh wait, you mean the steering on the car don't you? Sorry i don't know the answer to that.....Yes she's hot!.....CR
 
Use the longest radius rod you can (insert joke about blonde girl here), and angle them inward if possible, similar to a Pete & Jake's style setup. The pinion angle should be 3 degrees UP, not down. (insert joke about the blonde girl's effect on your pinion angle here)
 
On the T Buckets we build here. We weld the rear bat wings on the rear end about 3" wider than the frame. If say the frame is 26" wide than add 3" + 3" gives a width for the bat wings of 32" wide. Angle the bat wings in just a little bit so as not to strain the clevis when you bolt them up. We weld the bat wing with 0 pinion angle. The rear end will end up pointed up a couple of degrees and the pinion angle will be very close to 2-3 degees up. This can be adjusted with the clevis. The perfect rear radius rod length will put the front piviot inline with the front ujoint of the driveshaft. Nothing in these cars is ever perfect.

And last HELL YEA SHE IS HOT

So when you weld in the bat wings the actual pinion angle is 0 at that time. Or is it 3 degrees and then you set the batwings to 0.

Just a little confused.
