Thanks Denny,
I will look at the available options.

Would the 9" drum spindles require switching to small ball joints?
Is that what you are running on your Duster? What size wheel/tire and Backspace?

Thanks,
Randy

Depends on which Duster you are referring to (I have a couple) but every A body I have built with OEM suspension uses the smaller spindle with the small UCA ball joint. Just not a fan of the wider track width. I started the Leal build with the larger spindles /larger ball joints but removed them ASAP because they stuck the tires too far out for the look I wanted.

On the Butch Leal street car (above) the fronts are 15" diameter w/ 5" wide rim and 2-1/2" backspacing




Precisely to allow the wheels to be tucked inward, even the 75 Modified car was built and had them its 47 year race life...with lots of wheel stands.
