How are u guys mounting radiators in these cars? I'm not allowed a "cage" or anything like that, has to be mounted in stock location.

The late 58's and 59 and 60's are all leaf sprung. Where the lower control arms bolt to is the same spot as the leafs bolt to. It would be an easy "conversion" since that's all ford did to make leafs work on those cars. And the back ends are crazy hard.

Don't know about the best way, but here are a couple of ideas. Use spring spacers. But they tend to come out. Replace the stock ones with some from a 1/2 ton Ford pu or van. OK, three ideas. Use pullys from water pumps or smog pumps to boost the stock springs.

anyone know what years steering boxes fix a 61? Or if there are any boxes off other cars that will fit?

Putting an r body cradle under it makes these things stupid hard. Drive forward like an imperial. You won't be disappointed.

On page 1, I posted a after shot of my 64. Don't know if you can see it. If not, click on the image box. Don't know how to post pictures on here now, after the change.
