Application

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.
Ford 1928-48 spindles are generally your best choice when using an original Ford axle or an aftermarket I-beam axle.

Features

Cross Steering vs. Traditional Steering

Traditional steering provides an original, period look, but will only work in these applications:

Four bar setup with '68-'73 Mustang box
Split wishbone or hairpin radius rod with reversed Corvair or '48-'56 Ford Puckup steering box
Parallel Steering Set-Up Guide

Cross steering (using a Vega box) is the preferred method for nearly all cross spring, beam axle suspensions. Ford used this design from 1935-on.

Less bumpsteer
More comfortable steering column angle
Frees up foot pedal / bellhousing room
Cleaner vehicle profile
