Re: Scotts hot rods full frame
One of the welds looks to be off by 1/128th of an inch, fix that and it's perfect.
LOL. Awesome work!

Re: Scotts hot rods full frame
What flare do you guys use on your brake lines, 37 or double 45?
By the looks of the sleeves and tube nuts, 37 AN? Last edited by jlaird; 02-28-2009 at 11:02 AM. |

Re: Scotts hot rods full frame
Have you ever had a problem running aluminum AN fittings in a brake system? I was looking in to doing that, but was concerned about the pressures reached.

Re: Scotts hot rods full frame
If you use stainless line, can you use the aluminum fittings, sleeves, and nuts or do you need stainless fittings, sleeves and nuts?

Re: Scotts hot rods full frame
Whats up Justin, it's Eric the Bail Bondsmen from San Jose. Dang that frame looks bad @ss! Still working on my 78 but I really need a frame. I was thinking of ordering some mandrel bent frame rails from autoweld and having you install the IFS kit I bought from you and do some crosmembers. Would you be interested in doing something like that?

Re: Scotts hot rods full frame
Dave they use Mustang II spindles. I don't know what brand though.

Re: Scotts hot rods full frame
NTRUX thanks for the info. I was talking in another post that a MII front end is another good choice for our trucks. And thought I had looked at a vendor on here using MII components. Thanks for the clarification. That is the same setup they are using for the c-10 truck kits. They actually make those control arms them selfs.

Re: Scotts hot rods full frame
C10Sim
The "dogbones" are essentially struts that do 2 things. First, they hold the rear axle in place. With our 2 bar style set up an upper link is necessary since we use a bushed joint for the lower mount, e.g, to keep it from swiveling. Second, it's adjustable and you can adjust and set your pinion angle with it. six5 Yes they are a Mustang II style spindle, however that begs me to note that although we do use a mustang II style spindle, the suspension is not a Mustang II (most of you know that already)

Re: Scotts hot rods full frame
Please explain the difference between the dimension of a MII front suspension and yours? I realize you control arms may be different lengths. But would a MII control arm bolt up to your cross member?

Re: Scotts hot rods full frame
After looking at a MII cross member and your C-10 I realize they are different. But they seem like your setup was engineered around a MII setup using C-10 measurements?

The difference between the two is pretty simple, it's like the difference between the front suspension on a 88 ford ranger, and a 2009 GMC Yukon. Two different cars/trucks, and two different suspensions completely. Yes, the spindles might look similar, and maybe the crossmember is vaguely similar also, but that doesn't make them the same. With each and every car we build a front suspension for, we take the dimensions of the frame rail and "design, engineer, and build" a unique, one-off suspension. We do not have any a-arms laying around on the shelf, nor de we have cross members piled up in the back. If you order a suspension and need a unique ride height, that's what it'll be built too. If you need a little bit narrower track, that's what we'll do. Basically imagine the the CEO of Ford Racing was building himself a one off race car. Do you think he'd pull the suspension off of something he had laying around? No, he'd have his engineers design, and build him the best working suspension for the parameters of that vehicle. Well, that's what we do. The Mustang II spindle is simply used so that brake parts and bearings are redily available.
