Hello All.
Another newbie question. This time about wishbones.

I'm curious about model year differences. I recently bought a '39 pickup that had about a 8" section cut out of the top half of the driver side wishbone. Then they welded a piece of angle iron to the bottom. Who knows how long ago, or why.

In my search for brake drums, I found a "trailer" for sale, and the frame is a late 30's Ford front suspension. Wide 5 bolt pattern hubs and wheels, but I can't see much in the ad beyond that. I'm going over tomorrow to look at it.

Just wondering since it has a wishbone included, are there are specific differences to look for.?.

Car vs pickup the same?
