Hi,

, I'm sorry but, there is no such thing as a 1933 Ford Model T, the T ran from 1912 or so to 1927 and from 1928-1931 there was the Model A and then from 1932 to 1934 there was the Model B which is not it's common name as a hotrod, a T is known as a T bucket, a A is known Abone and a 1932 is known as a Deuce, and '33-'34's are just that '33 Ford or '34 Ford.

Back to how to lower the chassie, what they did is called "Z" ing the frame, that's where the back parts and front parts of the frame are cut off and then new are overlapped a few feet on the top and they used gussets to support it. What this does is lower the body but keep the suspension at a normal ride hight, no air bags or anything is needed.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
