Chris,
It looks like you used the stock style steering arms as opposed to the "drop axle" style. Did you have any problems? I am looking at the same axle for my 1930 Tudor. Thanks.

I neglected to heat and bend the arms before I had them powder coated. The fix was easy. I used Post War Ford Pickup tie rod ends. They gave the tie rod the rise needed to clear the wishbones. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speed...nds,50152.html

Looking closer at the picture, I see how the tie rod is raised. The tie rod end rise is hidden behind the axle. Looking at the front end, it looks like you changed the tie rod too.
Your parts combo is a very clean setup.
Thanks in advance.
