I think your wrong . The angle should not equal zero . Your rear is to high because you will get leaf spring twist up to fast

Thanks for watching!

Nice one. Looking good! What controller are you using to electrically operate the transmission? I have shied away from late transmissions or just run manual myself.

Hi Michael. The guy I got the motor and trans from also gave me the whole wiring harness and computer all of which came out of his running and driving 37 Ford. Based on this I'm assuming (hoping) I can wire it all up to run in my car too. If not I'll go 700R4 or TH350 with a carb.

@@garyscarstuff Ok Good deal!

Hi. What rear spring kit did you use Or are they out of the Dart as well? Thanks.

[@garyscarstuff]

Front spring mounts are early S10, shackles are from the Dart. I did a video on the springs "1940 Ford rear suspension", they are shortened Chevy Silverado.

Gary, I've recently started working on my late father's 1958 Plymouth Suburban. I feel my content might be similar to yours. Check out my playlist on my channel. Car is in my profile picture.

Hi Dan. Yes I've seen that project - very cool!
