Good for any model A or B

I used this for my 32 five window with 33 frame rails. I know it's for a model A but, a rod is a rod and a crossmember is a crossmember. I was going to make my own but again Speedway offered a heavy guage steel part at a price that made it worth not having to do all that work. The longer length is also nice to work with. Front ride height came out just fine on my 33 rails.

Who welds this stuff?

Coating is very hard to remove. Weld grinding is poor

Not as pretty as the stamped version, but on a full fendered car it will work just the same. It's well constructed and was dimensionally sound for what I needed.
