The Ford Barn

Kenwood · 03-10-2015, 10:21 PM

A couple of years back I purchased a 3-4 inch dropped axle
I believe it to be made from an original ford axle because it has the Ford insignia
I also received 2 bars that went from the axle back to the frame
The setup probably came from the 50's It's definitely a Model A front axle except dropped
I read all the procedure that the gentleman did lowering his A with a 32/36 axle , spring perches , spindles etc
How do I go about installing this in a stock 30-31 A with procedure, parts , What problems would I run across? Currently have 225 radial 16's on the car
Can I use the stock wishbone or do I need to install the bars going back to the frame if that's where they attach.
Thanks Ken
