Thanks again.

Hey Don....I believe the first thing I would have to ask would be: "WHY are you removing these great parts from your '34 Ford?"
I'll keep this short, but below is a Corvair spindle which mounts between upper & lower A-arms, via ball joints.
Below the Corvair spindle is an old Ford spindle....NOTE kingpin angle which coincides with angle of kingpin boss on I-beam, resulting in proper CAMBER (spindle is pictured upside-down).
NOTE the angle of the KINGPIN BOSS in a Ford I-beam, corresponding with Ford SPINDLE's Kingpin angle.
Seen in this last photo is a complete Corvair Independent Front Suspension as the unit unbolts from the Corvair in one piece. Back in the '70s there were a bunch of clowns bolting these entire units under the front of Model 'A' thru '48 Fords. They make the car look atrocious. I wonder if that's what your H.A.M.B. guy had done?
