straight axle
I've decided to build my own front axle for the '57. I'll set up the ends for Ford spindles and use 'moly tubing for the axle and ends....thinking 2" X .120 wall tubing or therabouts... Any suggestions on tubing size, or does anyone remember the caster/camber angles that were used on the old gasser setups? I would think 5-7 degrees of caster would give good stability, and match the camber angle of the axle end stubs to the built in angle on the Ford spindles, then maybe give it about 1/4 positive camber???????Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
