The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Attn New Zealand Barners: 1941 Pickup Front Axle

FlatheadEric · 01-28-2020, 01:12 AM

A car friend of mine who does not use computers is working on a 1941 pickup that has been imported from USA, so Left Hand Drive.
It has had a lot of work done on it in the USA to make it into a 4 inch dropped front with disc brakes, chopped cab and a later model OHV V8 engine.
He wants to put the front back to standard height, or at minimum have a 2 inch drop (maybe to reduce road kill or just to void bottoming out all of the time). He wants to put it back to work rather than having a show pony.
Is there anyone in NZ that has a standard front end axle with stubs laying about suitable for the 1941 pickup Left Hand Drive?
I am not schooled in this equipment but understand that 1937 through to 1941 would do the job.
