I would have to agree with you, you did get it right! I don't see anything wrong with this.

I'd pick your junk up any day of the week if that was sitting by the curb, as long as it was the wagon I was hauling off. Lean over & let me kick you for calling that sweet looking ride a junker. Only kidding about the kick.

Wheels are chrome 15x7 by Wheel Smith in Santa Ana, CA with 4 1/4" back space, just like a standard ralley wheel. Tires are Radir M/T pie crust cheater slick 10.00-15's. I moved the springs into the frame rails with a spring pocket kit. This gives lots of room for rubber!

I just took another leaf out of the front and it rides great. As you would expect, it's not a Caddy, but it's pretty decent.

No, I built it myself. Bought the axle, spindles and springs from MAS in MN. Steering arms and brake caliper brackets from Speedway
