A dropped Ford front axle will work on just about anything with a transverse front spring as long as it's the right width. Real Ford I-beam axles are frequently swapped around to achieve different track widths and stances, too. You fine-tune the ride height the printed parts shown above will give by filing off spring leaves. EDIT: Shown below is the dropped axle included in the early Revell '31 Ford Woody and all its derivatives, under an AMT '32 Ford with a custom front crossmember. You just have to understand how real suspension like this works. Edited April 5 by Ace-Garageguy TYPO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will probably want to create a slot in the front crossmember to accommodate the mounting tab. Just drill 3 or 4 holes next to each other and cut the dividing material out. Then it will be a drop-in. I hadn't seen those Iceman axles before. I like that they are beam axles. If you have a stash of extra kits, the Revell 32 Fords all come with chromed dropped axles, as do the AMT 27 T Touring, and the EX MPC Switcher 32 Ford kits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
