Ford roadster P/U chassis question. I have a question about my 1925 Ford TT roadster P/U project(Long-term). I want a fairly low stance but channeling the body isn't really an option. I've pretty much decided it'll have to be Z-d at the rear, at least that's the conventional method to get a lowered ride height with an early chassis. It's a straight Model A frame and has all the crossmembers intact. I'd planned on running a 4-link and coilovers instead of the transverse buggy spring in the rear.
So, any of you fellas built an early hot rod with A or Deuce rails? I thought it might be possible to use a large C-notch located right at the end of the chassis, obviously above the differential. The kind you might find or see on a bagged mini truck w/ a body drop. Ideas? Thanks.
I'll get some pic's posted after work today. It's mocked up with the 409 shortblock and diff. under the rear.

Right on, thanks for the reply. I'll just figure it out when I get to that part of the chassis work. I wasn't sure I'd get any replys here, but thought there was a guy with a pre-war Ford sedan w/ and LS in it on here. Just found my camera late last night, pic's to follow.
