Thanks I'll keep that in mind. I have two front drop axles. Just need to figure how to convert them from the double leaf spring to a buggy spring with drag links. My dad has a mid 50's Chevy rear end I might us or stick with the Camaro rearend that's in it.

im stuck in the ratrod and pin up lifestyle and your truck almost gave me a stiffy. it would look mean if when you cut the pillars you made the front a 1/2 lower than the back to give it that pissed off junkyard dog look Is this what you were refering to with the roof slope?

I think his is a buggy spring, they did a hot rod job on it in the 60's.

It's really cool what they did to the cab. He's going to channel it, he's got a ton of hrs boxing n filling/ narrowing the frame. Sounds like this will be his 6yo sons high school car... Wallys is a 33 ford.

No problem. I was just interested in the front axle, but I mentioned it to my dad and he is possibly interested in the rest of the parts for his Model A project. Thank you!
