Do you make your universal sway bar in 0.500 inch diameter. The 48 Plymouth Conv I'm working on never had a rear sway bar and I may not be able to use anything greater than 0.750 on the front.

Dear Welder Series… Brake/ Clutch Pedal Kit?

Dear Welder Series… 1948 Chevrolet Pickup Mustang II?
My question is, which of your M-II kits do you suggest for this application? I can figure out the outside of hub part easy enough but do you have certain kits that are made especially for the AD GM trucks?
Dear Welder Series… 1966 Chevy II Mustang II?
Are these (Mustang II kits) made to fit a particular frame? We have a 66 Chevy II.
Dear Welder Series… 15″ Panhard?
It would work best for a panhard bar to be about 12” to 15” long in my application. Some input would be appreciated.

Dear Welder Series… Four Link in 1951 Stude?
Do you think I would have any fitment problems?
Dear Welder Series… Mustang II for 1966 Nova?
Will that crossmember fit the original frame rails or is it best to change them over to 2x4 box tubing?
Dear Welder Series… GM SM420 Transmission Mount?
Dear Welder Series…
I ordered universal motor mounts an the tranny kit. The motor mounts will work fine. The tranny kit baffles me at this point. It is a beautiful design, and I would like to use it as it will give me plenty of clearance for dual exhaust.
The tranny is a SM420 that GM used from 1947 to 1967. It is a 4 speed manual with the lowest 1st gear ever. Pretty popular with Jeep people these days. The tranny mounts at the bell housing.
I noticed on the web that many 4 wheelers have transfer cases attached the would mount from the back. This is going into a 1962 Dodge d100 truck. 2 wheel drive (no transfer case).
Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Spoke with Paul yesterday
Thanks,

Dear Rick…
Rick, it looks like a crossmember will have to be fabricated with tabs or bosses to line up with the holes in the transmission. Urethane bushings could be used at each end of the crossmember to provide some insulation. Brackets welded to the frame would put the urethane bushing in double shear.
I hope this helps feed your imagination.
