Beam Axle Question

[oldskoolguy]

I’m abandoning my model A pickup project, which leaves me with a nice drilled 4” drop beam axle, wishbones, and a spring. I want to convert it to spring behind setup for use on a T. Any pitfalls I should look out for, like steering arm clearance etc. I’m thinking of mounting the spring through the bones like another poster on this board has.

I believe you should mock up the car before you commit to a major change like that.
It's usually a modification used when you run a stock Ford axle and want to get the front down a bit, ala "Rolling Bones".
You can make stuff like that work...but you need to do mockups first to verify things.
