What front end is this??

Post by AKGrouch »

Had a recent problem with a broken steering arm. Have not been able to find any parts as I can't id the frontend. Neither the folks at Spirit or the crew folks at Pete & Jakes have never seen it and I have not seen another like it. Also tslked to Cal Custom and several other custom shops with no luck. Ended up having to weld and fabricate a pinned bolt insert into the tubing. Hopefully someone here might know. The bucket was built in 1991 as for vintage date of front end kit.

Looks like Econoline spindle and home made arm (that wasn't strong enough). Lol
If it ain’t long it’s wrong. Sugarbear
