On any straight axle Ford car at any given car show, a part that you're most likely to find installed is a front clamp plate and 2 U-bolts. That's because there simply aren't a whole lot of ways to hold the spring in the crossmember.

There are no U-bolts, and a total of about ten inches of welding. I'll show you how I installed my kit in the '32 Ford I'm building
