Front suspension help
I posted this on another forum and everybody said to keep it stock so I'd like other opinions. I'm building a budget hot rod, 1951 Dodge business coupe. I want a budget route on the front susp if I can. I found a 78 Z28 front subframe. Track width on it is 60 in, mine is around 56. Now with what I got, the gear box and the steering linkage is going to be in the way. In pics it looks like the frt tires are tucked under pretty good, mines apart, and I'm going to run a 215/75/ 15, on a 5.5 or 6in wheel. I'll probably go with a 8.5 10 bolt or a 8.8 explorer rear end. I just want a good driving cruiser that handles well. Give me your opinions.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
