Thread: My unique rear suspension

Tweet

I'm using cut trailer springs from Tractor supply on my '27 sedan, (only cost me $42.00) I cut them the same legnth as what Speedway sells and I'm only running 2.5 leafs, don't want to hard of a ride. The springs were 3.5 leafs before I removed one. I think the wish bones should keep everything in place, or at least I hope that they do.. Looks like everything should work fine but won't know untill I run her down the road. Time will tell.

I thought it was positive caster that I wanted, now I get to prove Ed wrong )
Never built a Rod like this before, have built a view muscle cars and Corvairs and even a couple of Hotrod trucks. But never a true Rod. Am taking my time and having a blast doing it, figure it will be the last car I ever build from the ground up, just getting to old for this much work.. It will be a true Rat rod when it's done.I even found a old Case tractor radiator shell and monted it last night, really, really looks cool!..... thanks so much for the help guys!
