My car is a 38 with a 41 front end so had to lengthen the wheelbaseso the front wheels would be centered in the fender openings.
I just mocked up my 41 Pickup and noticed my two front leafs with matching paint that came for a 40 have the center pins in different locations to each other. I’ll get new springs made and drill the pins to my wheels base but the front of my chassis is a stock 40 and I’ve back halved it for the big tires. Working with a 100” wheel base at the moment but that could change a little, we’ll see. Thanks for the build pic Mick. Rob 604-561-4273 call or text Butcher Shop Customs & Paint Maple Ridge B.C.

Thanks Mick. But then ADHD kicks in and I bring the 40 inside lol But I should get them both rolling before I figure out which one to continue on. 2028 will be here soon and one of them needs to be on the road for that. Rob 604-561-4273 call or text Butcher Shop Customs & Paint Maple Ridge B.C.
