    If you look at how I mount the axle to the fixture, I just use a piece of 3"x2" angle iron. Then slot it so the spring perch will slide on then tap the fixture to bolt it on the fixture and set the caster at 10 degrees.
    The frame will be notched for more head clearance.

    I'll be waiting for each installment. While I may never build a '32, it is still my favorite regardless of the fact I'm finishing up a '31.

    I'm interested in the frame notch and how you handle the reinforcing after cutting a bunch of the inherant strength out of the standard '32 rails.

    This is the frame in my truck, this build will be the same. I cut the frame down to where I use 2"x3" 120 wall tubing. This makes everything the same height.
