Can't say much about the Stude without looking at it first, but whatever you
do make sure you check your bump steer after your finished modifying things.
Didn't they have the old trunion front ends?
What about a Camaro sub frame?

> Has anybody on the list ever built a 53-55 Studebaker using the Studebaker
frame and suspension?  What did you use for steering?  Surly not the weird
array of bell cranks, idlers, and arms that were put into that thing in
South Bend.  It doesn't look like it will lend itself easily to rack and
pinion either, as the tie rod ends would be too far back from the rack - -
almost under the center of the motor?  Anybody got any experience or ideas
on this?
