Ill be at riverport.

In order;
* nothing much, '34 master would be a one-year body style
* the back springs are very stiff, narrow, and very long.  The other problem is the front 'half' of the spring is long; therefore, if you soften them by removing leaves you will get excessive axle wind-up.  Best to get rid of them for a modern style SE leaf spring where the front 'half' is about 1/3.  I expect there would be many options out there.  
* not sure about the power windows.  
* look in various Leyland products for their Bowditch cable drive systems.[/quote]

Thanks, I was looking at a pair of front springs That are on mail jeeps.
There shorter than the stock spring and are pretty flat so maybe it will set the rear end on the ground.

Im trying to post a picture

I just bought a 34 chevy 2 door sedan Master. I have never owned a chevy older than 59 and I don't know to much about them I have always been into 30-32 fords and this is a new step for me. Im building this car on a budget so Im going to try to get as much as  I can from the junk yards and parts cars like my dad used to do in the 70s and 80s.
What all will interchange with this body style (33 34 35) ?
What rear leaf springs will work under it?
What power windows are the best to try to use?
what should I use for windshield wipers? I was told VW?

Mery post Christmas,

A month or so ago one of the Rod Magazines ran an article about innovations or products that changed the course of hot rodding.  One of the products mentioned was an Edlebrock manifold for the Ford flathead.  It featured a Y type of adapter that mounted two two barrel carbs and bolted to a larger openingin the manifold.  It was nicknamed the "slingshot"

They had a picture of it, and it rang a bell.  I had been wondering what that thing was that has been in my collection of stuff for over 20 years.

I went scrounging around and sure enough there it was inthe back seat of my '31 Victoria.

Anyone out there got any idea how rare or desirable these things are?
