Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
This is my crossmember for a MII system. Crossmember is from Lunatic, I added the angled brackets (from Michael Thomas). Crossmember only had straight holes through the unit.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Here the crossmember is installed in the frame, also cut a notch in bottom of frame for rack unit. Power rack from JPL. Still need to trim notch pieces.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
I purchased Heidt's Economy upper and lower A arms. They are nice and strong and cheaper that tubular. I purchased the brakes from ECI with 11" rotor and big calipers. This set up moves the tire outward 3/4" per side to help widen the MII front end. I also had this setup on my 32 Chevy.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
After getting the front end on the ground, I decided to purchase 2" dropped spindles, wasn't low enough for me.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
With the front and rear set up it was time to check out the 50 body.
Pic 1 is the firewall, still on it's frame. Pic 2 is the inside floor (typical for these trucks).
