    Front steer on 1937 Buick

     



    I'm trying to keep the frame spring pockets intact and using suspension components from a 2wd ford ranger or explorer to convert my 1937 Buick Roadmaster to disk brakes and ball joints. Also trying to avoid changing the front clip.
    The components look like a pretty good match dimensionally. My biggest concern with this conversion is that the Explorer is front steer and my Buick has rear steer. Has anyone out there put a front steer suspension in an old car like this. If so, where did you locate the front steer components.
    Thanks
