Looking for ideas on using a '50 Ford F-1 front axle and converting the parallel spring setup over to a transverse spring setup. Ever seen it done? Should I try a Split Wishbone or 4-bar hookup.
As a newbie I've looked at tons of photos. I like the "Apperson " style frontends and have seen a few axles with what looks like a flat top spring perch on an old I-Beam axle, but never get a side view to see how the other parts hookup. I have access to machine shop tools and have done some forging and heat treating so I'm not totally intimidated but need advice. Not ready to can the idea yet... Going to try it out for rat rod with custom frame.
