55.2-59 my '59 short bed build

[Bridgeman57]

I’m building a 57’ 3600 4x4 in stock frame. I’m interested in how your steering setup is. I’m stuck in what to do with tire hitting components. 10 bolt up front

i see you posted this 8 months ago, nice and simple, did you ever finish the torque arm?

responding years later, but yes...then i shelved the project for a while. can provide more pics if you want

the truck is just collecting dust in the new shop space. found some rust in the windshield eyebrow area that i missed before, so i need to tear this back down to fix that...that's where i stalled out.

fast forward to now....i'm moving and need to get my projects out of my home workshop, so i'm focusing on my '47 now until its at least moveable, then shifting back to the 59 maybe once settled in my new shop space. although i'm probably stealing this SBC for the 47 and LS swapping the '59.
