Re: Spiral Shocks
Not to hijack this post, but one of the posts above insinuates that Budd frames were heavy duty - From all of my research, I was under the impression that the three frame suppliers: A.O. Smith, Flint Frames and Budd, supplied the same type of frame. They were all the same. Can anybody comment on this? If Budd did make a heavier duty frame, what was different about it?
Thanks

Re: Spiral Shocks
Hi Rob:
I will let the experts comment but I have never seen any major differences.It seemed the manufacturer of your frame was determined based on the location of where your car was built. I have taken Budd frames out of 6 cylinder cars and we have two in our 427 cars.Have to love the SO cal ones.

Re: Spiral Shocks
That's how I understood it too. Jon Krogh also told me the same thing... And he has taken apart scores of cars. You never know though...
