Steering arms won't work !!! Now what ?
Heres my problem,
I'm building a 36 Chevy low cab pickup with a stock frame and a 49 Chevy 1/2 ton front axle and i can't find steering arms that work . I installed the spring over the axle and now running hairpins with stock 49 spindles.
I put on a set of 2" dropped arms from a 49 Chevy car and they worked perfect for the tie rod , but the ackerman is out big time . I checked it out and figure that the steering arms would have to be bent (towards the wheel) about an 1 1/2" but that seems like alot and I just don't trust it . So I guess my question is can I buy a set ??? or should I get someone with a mill to make me a set ??? I've checked everywhere and emailed countless places and no one has anything that will work . Any info will help.
Thanks
