I've finally made some progress on the '48. Ford 8.8 is ready for new spring perches, firewall will clear the BB now, and I have a Cavalier R&P from the junkyard. So here are the questions: 1. Rear-end. Can I use a 2" wide spring perch even though the springs are 1 7/8"? (I've never done a complete build so I'd rather ask and look stupid than not ask and something fail driving down the road.) 2. R&P install help. What do the brackets look like? I've seen one set of pics. Any others? Use 2005 Ford Exploder outer tie rods? Any other help? 3. Brakes. The 8.8 has 11" disks. Rusty Hope uses a 10" disk for the front I believe. As long as I use the right valves will the two live happily together? 4. Pedals. I keep seeing something about using a '94 Jeep Cherokee brake pedal assembly. Is this the whole assembly including the booster or just the pedal?
