I have a SoCal chassis under my 32. Very pleased. You will be to.

The best approach is to use SoCal running gear. The frame is set up for their stuff.

No matter how hard you try you are going to have a hard time beating SoCal prices.

I used junk yard brakes and axles with their Currie rear end housing. By the time I got done I may have saved $100-$150 over the cost of new axles and brakes.

Front end uses the Chassis Engineering dropped axle and spring. SoCal's price is competitive with any other supplier.

SoCal batwings and hairpins are superior to those offered by Pete and Jakes.

SoCal originally sold a main leaf for the rear spring and recommended using a 40 Ford spring pack for the other leaves. Today, they will only sell a complete Eaton made spring. Posie will sell you the main leaf only. By the time you get a main leaf and a swap meet spring pack together you will have spent almost as much or as much as buying a new spring from SoCal.

SoCal uses Pete and Jakes rear ladder bars and shocks and sells them for the same price as any other Pete and Jakes dealer.

The SoCal frame comes with welded in bosses for the SoCal F-1 style front shock mounts. Bite the bullet and buy the SoCal Mounts.

The SoCal chassis is really a package deal. The big expense is shipping the Chassis from California. Once you have it shipping on the other stuff is small potatoes.

Enjoy the ride!

Enjoy.
