Another Build Thread - My '32

I'd have to vote for double shear on any Heim joint used in suspension loaded brackets-------It eliminates the sideways force on the heim outter ring--------

Yes Jim, I read through your entire Track T thread. Lots of good stuff in there. I have already started my own thread.

Low-budget/T-Bucket Pickup

I have seen a considerable amount of concern over using Heim joints for Street Rod suspensions on this and other forums. I think they are very safe. I've seen them used for many years in all types of stock car racing. Those cars get major abuse and pounding on, and I have never seen a Heim joint fail other than in a major wreck.
