I am building a 27 T-bucket. I have a 40 ford front axle with juice brakes with origional wish-bone. I have a few questions about how to progress from here.
1) I am building a frame, but I am not sure what to use with the origional axle(ie. 4 bar, hair pin, wishbone) From what I am reading here in the last few monthes, it sounds like the four bar is probably the way to go, but I would like some knowledgable input.
2) I also want to get the front end down, and I have read here an option for this is to mount the spring behind the axle. I saw some batwings from speedway but they were for a tube axle. Are there any for a beam axle?
3) Am I going to have to "Z" the frame to get it as low as I am wanting or can I just mount the perch up high ?
4) I am an experienced Machinist and want to build as many of the parts as I can. Does anyone have any drawings of the frame or any of the parts I am needing to fabricate?
Thanks in advance,
