Hey
rock …...Even though it's YOUR car we're using as a guinea pig here, it's encouraging to see that you seem to have something of the same curiosities, as well as some surprise at Ford Mtr. Co about just how they did these cars. I've always been somewhat infatuated with Henry's old Ford chassis and suspension bits and pieces, along with their usage, cross-usage, updating and progression of parts for subsequent models, and especially how hot rodders have adapted and made use of these parts for just short of a century now. Changes, or differences usually have reason for such, especially when a huge automobile manufacturer has a bottom line to keep happy. THAT's a good part of my continued interest in all of this, and I appreciate your help toward that end. DD
