Thread: 40 Studebaker frame and suspension

Tweet

nice starter project. nothing wrong with the front suspension . all fomoco . much better than the pos aftermarket crap .
set up a good 8 in ford rear and your redy to go .

See, posting pics isn't all that hard once you figure out a couple things.. now just hit enter between pics to add a space or two between them. makes it easier to "see them".

Looks like a great project too!

Found this on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Trans-Dapt-...19.m1438.l2649 Seems like it would solve my engine mount issue. With some additional reinforcement would this be a solution? Thanks

That should do very nicely.

I agree. The MII front doesn't seem to have much room to lower anyway. I would go with mods to the body to give the impression. On the other hand, I cut a coil out of my 67 Cutlass for a 2 inch front drop (2" lowering springs in the rear, you can't cut those) and it handles fine.

Here's a pic of the Olds

Very nice olds!!!

Thanks, and thanks for all the good advice. I will start a build log when I'm able to get it in the shop after I finish my 65 Buick Special Conv. which has about a month or so to go. Here is the latest on it. The quarters are the last to strip and repair, all other parts blocked and in the final prime. Engine already rebuilt and interior sorted.
