Whats up with the front suspension on the one in the front? It looks like the steering arm is in the front.

I wish I had taken pictures, but my '59 was cut down into a baja when I got it, and somebody had welded a third rim between two regular wide 5 rims with snow tires on them, and they had water in them. It was a dually when I got it.... the trans had broken, and the engine was missing.

they had cut both aprons off and the front hood was trimmed to the front of the gas tank area.

Sure there is. Look closely and you can clearly see a ratcheting cargo strap holding the two together. It also appears to be strengthening the front end/rear roll cage assembly. Scary stuff, huh?
