Who else can appreciate a solid Hot Rod collection - Library?
Iv been wanting to do this for a long time
A penny’s on the dollar opportunity showed up yesterday
So now Iv got a solid start.
1959 to 1971
I have 1949 so now I’m only looking for 50 to 58 … and a bookshelf lol
Oh
Don’t worry
They rode home through the Atlanta hell hole nonstop in milk crates under the hard bed cover.

So I changed it up a little this week.
Because the 46 rear was so wide I couldn’t fit the new 16 inch Auburn radials in the rear.
So I
Swapped it out for a two and a half inch narrower 37 - 40 rear with taller gears.
Much better now … still may need to bring the rear down another inch though. I’ll see if it settles at all.
16 x 4” with 550s
16 x 5” with 750s
With if you don’t recognize them
That’s 40 deluxe caps w inner trim rings.
🍁So
I’m building a five inch drop front end with F1 Bendex brakes for the 40.
Since I need to use big bolt on dropped arms anyway I figured why not use these ugly left side F1 spindles that fit the hubs as is?
This is the lower boss where the bolt on arm goes that I’m modifying to resemble the top.
Of course I could’ve just trimmed them and called it good but wheres the struggle in that?
Here it goes
F1 spindles explained
These F1 spindles are very much the same as square back car pu 42-48 spindles. Except inside bearing size is larger. Kingpin inclination angle and size are the same.
49 to 56 pickup hubs go right on along with backing plates.
If F1 hubs are used .. 80s rear drums can be used which use a wider 2.5 shoe.
