That brings up another question, are you sure it is a '35? I must admit that Ford may have used different suspension in Australia and my information may not be accurate since I am not really into the '35. How about some pictures?

Now for a bit of trivia that you may already know. What I consider the first major improvement after the Model A came in 1937 when the sector shaft was redesigned to replace the gear teeth on the end with a gear mounted in a roller. This roller mounted gear continued through the F100 truck (and probably longer). I am not sure the '35 would give you the improvement you want. See attached.
