Just got my 55 back from best front end shop in town after installing CPP stock appearing upper A arms with 5 degrees more caster, what a great product and complement to the 500 PS box. . I did not want crappy looking tubular on my vintage Gasser.

Post some pics of your new suspension setup...

nice, pics would be great.![]()
ARMY NAM VET, very proud!
56 210 4dr
drive and enjoy them while you work on them, life is to short.
The thing I liked the most is they look just like the oem stuff I took off except more caster, I don't take a lot of pictures of anything nut my dogs and they are not electronic.
I thought gassers were supposed to have straight axles not a-arms. The gasser frame we built last year had a Speedway straight axle like a lot of them do.
Any who the hell uses film anymore? I thought it was obsoleted years ago with carburetors and rotary phones!

Just installed a set of these on my 56, once again really nice results. Now it time to park it for the winter.
Just changing to the offset cross shafts should give an additional 2 degrees, they don't cost $219 BUT did the arms give you more then 2 degrees? I think they advertise them up to 5 degrees extra. I see you don't mind putting Chinese parts on your gasser
Mark you should consider installing the howe taller upper ball joints you can read about the benfits in this thread he has an otherwise stock suspension including springs.
