    Chaz: I saw a t bucket at a show a few years ago where the guy used the same kind of axle you have and he modified it to a single cross spring. It really looked good. He simply welded on some perches for the spring eyes and two brackets to hold hairpin radius rods. He had the benefit of already having brakes and stuff on the axle.

    Have you considered just running a tube or box tubing crossmember from side to side and doing a suicide front end? Here is a picture of my '39 Dodge truck that we did with a box tubing front crossmember. It was very straightforward and simple to do.
