I went and got the front end and rear end from that '51 ford truck today. There was the front dropped axle with the hubs and steering linkage, and the rear end with the hubs. nothing was froze up and everything turned good. The guy even had the original steering gear box with steering wheel, and he let me have them for the same price....free! there's rust on everything, but I plan to tear everything apart tomorrow, and sand blast everything this weekend to see what I can clean up and use or what I have to replace. My frame is 32" wide, and the pads on the drop axle are 32" apart(to the outside bolts), so I think they'll work good. the rear end pads are about 42 inches apart, so I think I can get some coil springs to fit on there right .....we'll see
