Float-a-Ford

Post by civinwt » Fri Jan 30, 2026 2:44 pm

Will the Float-A-Ford system fit on an over the axle wishbone front axle, and also is there a source for the 2 different spring sizes? I would like to install them on my '11 Torpedo.
Thank you in advance for any info forthcoming.

regards,
Bruce

Hey there Bruce - I'll look through some of my earlier parts catalogs & see if any Float-A-Ford ads show an early front axle.

Steve, thanks for looking..
Frank, I have the complete set, front and back but need to find a couple of replacement springs to complete the set.
Appreciate quick responses.
