how can you use a madel t rear spring with an early 40's style reareand? i saw this setup on the chevy modified in the last issue. any help would be appreciated.  

You can find the spring hangers on EBay or Speedway Automotive and Total Performance and they are welded onto the housing.  You'd be a little better off using a Model A spring as they have a little softer rate and almost visually identical.  

we used a T spring on a 40 rearend that went into a custom chasis we made a custom T crossmember that we made ourself. If the rearend still has stock(original)spring mounts, all you need to make is a spreader bar. We used a 1" piece of tube 4"s shorter than the spring that is threaded on one end, then get a piece of allthread (half inch)weld a piece of angel iron ont the end of it.weld another piece to the tubing, a nut a washer, put in between spring and start spreading. takes about 10 min to, make 10 to spread it, 10 to say i did it myself!!!
