Okay Guys,
The Heidts front end is welded onto the new chassis for our 1955 Ford F100 panel truck. After we tacked in the boxing plates, we test fit the front cross member and checked for square. The Heidts instructions are really comprehensive and they walk you through all of the steps clearly.
To locate the front end, we had to measure 19 3/4 inches from the center line of the hole from the original hanger mount for the old leaf-spring. This defined the center line for the cross member. We measured, spotted in the cross member then measured everything again. We tacked it in and checked again. Once we were happy with things, we welded everything up. After a little work with the grinding wheel to clean up the welds, it looks awesome. Next, we're going to dry-fit all of the front suspensions components so that we can set our ride height. We'll need that to get the pinion angle right for the rear end.
Check out our progress...
