Default Re: Tires on a 40 ford coupe

My May 2000 invoice shows I bought Part #2040 Front Spring 2in. wide from POSIES INC., Hummelstown, PA. 717-566-3340. I also bought new 2 in. wide front shackles from Posies. Call them and be sure to explain what you are trying to do and verify that this spring will fit using the stock 1940 Ford axle. I say this because I used the same spring with my 4 inch dropped Magnum axle which is 3/4 in. narrower than stock. Before calling make a list of the questions you want to ask so as to get all the info. you can. I say this because I always foget to ask soemthing.

Below is an old Fordbarn message I saved from 2001 that is very helpful and offers another solution. Click on it to enlarge.

Hope this helps. Jim
