Check out this truck! Chuck sent these pictures for our photo sharing draw, and I had to post them here. Chuck used our 58” crossmember for coil springs. Also, I’ve included a bit of the email he sent along with the pictures. He recently ordered some more parts, so I asked him how the Mustang II install went:
Hi Charles, thanks very much for another order. It should be shipped tomorrow. How did the Mustang II kit work out for you?
Thanks again

Hello:
I keep meaning to send you pictures of the install of the Mustang II – see attached photos. It came out excellent! I couldn’t be happier, great instructions and a very high quality kit from you. Should have it on the road for Back to the 50’s car show in St. Paul, MN. in June.
Thank you!
Chuck

Dear Welder Series... Hello. I am looking for a complete mustang ii front end for a 1952 Studebaker p/u. What do you recommend? Dear Jason... Jason, your Stude would use our 58" kit. Sorry, we sell just the crossmember/upper tower kits, not hub-to-hub. Thanks for looking at Welder Series parts.

Dear Welder Series... Good day aye, I would like to purchase your cross member for my 1962 Studebaker Lark station wagon. Running into issues with frame measurements.

I am building a 50 Stude Truck. Could use any advice you can give me.
These are great looking trucks, Gregg. As to advice, I suggest you get the wheels and tires you plan to use. Then mock up the truck at the ride height you want when it’s finished. Our Mustang II kits are designed to let you get thew ride height you want with your wheel & tire sizes. Make a plan, check the plan to see if it’s practical/feasible, and try to stick to it.
I hope we can help with your project.

This study is same year as mine and wow it looks awesome! Could you give me a list of parts that were used ? I would like to order for my truck. Also what size are the wheels?
Hi Brett,
I’ll email the builder and see if he would get in touch with you regarding the build.

Hi Chuck,
I have some questions as well. What track width did you use for your truck? I have seen from multiple places that the 58 1/2″ and 60 1/2″ could work. Also, are those stock spindles or dropped? Thanks!
