I am doing a '41 DeSoto Bus Coupe and I think that it is the same as the late '40's cars. I used the Fat Man dropped support kit and their disk brake kit with the rack & pinion steering kit. If I was doing it over I would go with an M2. Something I could fit to the stock frame. By the time you rebuild the stock front end and buy this other stuff you have spent $2500 bucks.
