Dear Welder Series…
Hello,
I am emailing to find out if you have a Chevy V8 mount kit that will work in a 1956 Chevy pickup truck.
Thanks,
Jase
Dear Jase…
Jase, either of our Chev motor mount kits will work in your ’56. The frame brackets must be trimmed to put the engine at the height you want.

Dear Welder Series…
Will the MII hub to hub IFS for a 1928-31 fit on a 2×3 rectangular frame? Also what is the min and max width it will fit. I’m building a 1927 full fendered Ford.
Thanks
Dear Howard…
Howard, our Model ‘A’ Mustang II crossmember is designed to fit a stock or reproduction Model ‘A’ frame. The crossmember takes into account the tapers in the stock dimensions of the Ford frame. The upper spring towers weld to the outside of the frame and to the top of the crossmember “wings”. The nominal dimension at spindle centerline is 26″. There wouldn’t be much more tolerance than +/- 1/2″ on that.
I hope this helps.
Dear Welder Series…
I am building an old school Jeep CJ5. I can’t find any aftermarket frames or frame parts anywhere. What are the chances you are going to start making some? How about a 1955 CJ5 frame kit? The CJ5 frame is the same from 1955 to 1971. Thank you for your time. I have found so much street rod stuff that is going to be Jeep stuff. You guys rock! Maybe look into the off-road market… I am going to use your motor mounts, body mounts, brackets, tabs, unholes… I have found so many uses for your parts.
Dear Kerry…
Thanks, Kerry. I’m happy you found Welder Series parts that you can use on your Jeep. Our parts are quite adaptable!
We don’t have any plans to build Jeep frames or parts that would be specifically for Jeeps. Sorry.
Thanks for looking at welderseries.com.
Dear Welder Series…
I need to know if your universe triangulated or 4 link parallel would work on my 1969 F-100. I wanted to move from the leaf spring to coil over shock system and reduced ride height.
Fred
Dear Fred…
Fred, the installation sheets are at the bottom of the description in the web store. The dimensions should help you to see any areas that might be a problem. Here are links to the two kits:

http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online-store/rear-four-link-kit-triangulated/
I think either kit will work fine on your Ford. Please ask again if you have other questions.
Thanks for looking at Welder Series parts.
Dear Welder Series…
Mr Horton:
I have two major regrets. One is selling my 5 window deuce when I came home from Nam. The second is that I didn’t find your web site sooner. I would like to use your “Welder Series” Mustang II cross-member and coil mounts but I’m wondering which manufacturer’s tube arms and dropped spindles would be compatible with my 36 Ford front end. Actually I would like to use a number of your items but I know (and realize why.) you use a deuce as a sort of nucleus of much of your inventory but does your catalog specify if the item is only for use with a deuce? I wanted to down load your catalog but I wasn’t sure if I had to be a member first.
Thanks, Kep
Dear Kep…
Kep, I’m happy that you found us now instead of three years from now…For Mustang II arms, check with some of the companies on our “Dealers/Builders” page, http://www.welderseries.com/blog/dealers-builders/ .
Send us your mailing address and we will get a catalog on the way to you. The parts themselves don’t know what they are… Welder Series came to be because when we were building hot rods, we would often want to use a component from some kit in an application I hadn’t thought of when designing it. Sort of “imagineering”.
Thanks for looking at Welder Series parts.
Dear Welder Series…
Hi, I contacted you last year before Christmas sometime and was going to order up a rear 4 link with air bag brackets. Since then things have changed and now I will be doing the same thing but with a smaller axle. It is the gm 8.5″ from an S10. The axle tube dimension is less than what your brackets are cut for. Do you have a different axle bracket to fit the smaller axle tube diameter? Or do you have a suggestion for my problem?
thanks,
Dennis
Dear Dennis…
Builders have used a short length of tubing, 3″ O.D. and the same I.D. as your axle tube, as a bushing. Split the tube into 2 “C” halves. This will make up the difference in the axle to bracket diameter. It will also spread the load over a wider area for more strength.
Thanks for asking, Dennis.
Dear Welder Series…
Hi Paul,
thanks for getting back so soon. This is going to be installed on a 57 GMC truck. I am thinking the bars should be sort of parallel with the road at ride height, which means the lower bar will be below the frame quite a bit. Do you make a frame bracket for these trucks?
thanks,
Dennis
Dear Dennis…
I have a similar bracket that was designed for the Ford F1 truck. One bar mounts just above the bottom of the frame rail and the other is lower. Will check it out when I get a few minutes.
Thanks for asking.
Paul
Dear Welder Series…
I have a 68 Chevy c10 pickup that I would like to replace the trailing arms w an adjustable 4 link setup using a Chevy 10 bolt rear. I would like to delete the Panhard bar also.
What do you recommend? Do you have a complete kit w shocks and springs?
Thanks Chris
Dear Chris…
If you want to eliminate the Panhard bar, our triangulated kit would be a good way to go, Chris. You can get details at http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online-store/rear-four-link-kit-triangulated.
If your GM 10 bolt rear end has the ears on the differential case, you could look at http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online-store/four-link-kit-rear-8-8-ford/ .
I’d suggest the big bushing kit.
Sorry, we don’t sell coil-overs.
Thanks for looking at Welder Series parts.
Dear Welder Series…
I have a 1952 Ford Mainline I am looking for a kit for the front end of this bad boy. I want to airbag the front at the end of the day. Do you have a kit for this. Thanks for your time Mike
Dear Mike…
Mike, putting a Mustang II in this frame requires cutting out the stock frame in the area of the upper and lower control arms and replacing that section with rectangular tubing. Then mount the MII to this tubing. There are some pic of this being done at http://www.welderseries.com/blog/category/mustang-ii-installed-pics/ .
Thanks for looking at Welder Series parts.
Dear Welder Series…
I have purchased your Mustang II Crossmember kit for my 1948 Ford Tudor sedan. I’m using the factory X-frame, at the front section where I am to install the crossmember there are the original frame holes. My question is do I have to box in the frame rails or can I plug weld to fill the holes? I’ve attached a picture of my frame. Where the rubber stops are located is where the holes are inside of the frame rails. The frame is already “boxed”.
The frame was upside down when taken.
Please let me know.
Thank you,
Tony
Dear Tony…
Tony, we just cut out some circles and filled the holes in the stock boxing plates.
Good question.
Dear Welder Series…
Hey DW
Do you have caliper brackets for early Ford spindles?
Thanks Ross
Dear Ross…
Sorry, Ross, we don’t make early Ford brake brackets.
Thanks for looking at Welder Series parts.
