48 Hemi B 1 C Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) I lost the dimension between the ground and the bottom of my frame front and rear of the frame before I disassembled everything. Putting Ford 9” and mustang II front suspension in. Wanting to lower a couple inches just need a starting point . Mine is a 1948 B1C but a B1 B would work just fine. Anyone have any measurements for me. Please? Edited May 9, 2019 by 48 Hemi B 1 C Left stuff out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave72dt Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Top of the page you'll find a resourcees link, hit that, scroll down to dpetca, open scroll down below bright red truck, hit Pilots knowledge and scroll down. You'll find builders layouts with all kinds of dimensions. Near as I can tell, top of frame at rear is 24". Rear of frame has very little arc to it over the axle so you may need to C notch the frame to get adequate suspension movement. I dropped mine about 3" with a 8" Ford and have about 3" between the axle and bottom of frame. I will be notching mine. Ride height set according to tire sizes chosen and preferred stance , needed to get correct geometry for the MII, rear drop worked out to the 3 "" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
