The 32-spoke wire wheels are finished in black, feature chrome hubcaps, and are mounted with 550–16 front and 750–16 rear Firestone bias-ply tires in a big-and-little setup. The frame was boxed and kicked 2.5″ in the rear, and a cross-member supporting the battery box as well as parking brake and exhaust mounts was welded in before it was painted. The front suspension features a Superbell 4″ dropped axle with a transverse leaf spring, 1932 Ford-style control arms, a Panhard bar, and 1940 Ford spindles, while a triangulated four-link setup with coilovers is fitted out back. A 1956 Ford steering box is fitted, and braking is handled by drums at all four corners with Wilwood master cylinders and a transmission-mounted parking brake.
