Application

  1. Ford 1928-48 spindles are generally your best choice when using an original Ford axle or an aftermarket I-beam axle. 
  2. Chevy 1949-54 spindles are specifically designed for use on tube axles. A shorter, thicker axle stub makes this a slightly stronger spindle ideal for use with heavier street rods.

The flat steering arms do not fit correctly and if you use spacers rather than grinding the steering arm alot! The tie rod will be entirely too long. Best advice is for speedway to include a spacers and trim some off the tie rod.

I am building a open wheeled rat rod style truck with a Mopar big block 440 engine and 727 transmission and would like to use your front end kit Part # 91639520 and this brake kit. But my question is do you think that the ford spindles can handle the weight of the engine and trans or should I use the Chevy spindle kit. And if so do you offer a front axle kit similar to the one I mentioned above.
