When I started this, I replaced the 50 truck axle with a 40 Ford one in true gluebomb fashion....just glued to the frame w/ no suspension, rods, linkage, etc. With that said, I can't explain doing this, except that they may be visible thru the open top, but here I am putting in some imagineered interior bracing:   And some springs behind the seat !   Go figger !!! |
