I found this in an online Book called The Scratch built Hot rod. It's an interesting take on the twin I-beam.

Welcome to the site cboy. Good to se ya here.

One question, the first car you show in the pic below ( and the one you chronicle in the book) has the axles above the frame and the other one has the axles below in a more traditional fashion. Have you had any issues with the one with the axles above hitting the frame? I tend to like the axle below set-up, but just curious on whether there is much of a difference...
I've seen the smaller twin-I beams on the rangers...might these be more appropriate for a 23-27 T?
You read my mind. Part of the front end makeover includes correct Ackermann (my present setup would require a wheelbase of 47 ft!), new spindles and steering arms, adding shocks and making the rack arms parallel to the axle and the ground. Thanks for the reply, it's good to know I'm on the right track. :kiltdance:PotvinGuy, I never noticed that before when you were talking about having bump-steer, if you would go longer with the steering arms and line the rack arms up both horizontal and vertical I would bet it would get rid of the bump-steer. Mine is strait with loaded weight and I have no bump-steer. Longer arms should also help with the quickness of the steering as well.
