check with fatman fabrications they make one for the early cars. with the early cars you need to mount the frontend low which makes the car set high and use dropped spindles to get it back down, the reason you need to mount it low is to clear the fenders, check it out here. Ron...

I called fatmans and it sounds like they have the set up i need.

I have actually ben to there shop a couple years ago and got to meet brent , the owner, he was a gret guy and so was the guys that worked for him. after touring the shop and talking to the guys there i would not have any problem buying there stuff. i think everyone there puts an effort into there work and likes there job.

I agree I talked to Brent many years ago and got the same feeling from him. he even helped me out with info on stuff I wasn't even getting from him , I told him I was putting a stock must II cradel under a 48 austin and he said he could help me with the narrowed rack that I would need to do it he didn't try to talk me into using his cross, I found him to be very helpfull. that Is why I let people know about his products..

I bought 2 cross members and tube A armes from him and they went on fantastic Ron...

The Plymouth now has over 90,000 on it with the Fatman suspension and still no problems.
