switching front ends, A

[young gun]

Currently have a roll o matic front end on my 52 A... Is there a front end to bolt on instead of the one I have that won't require me to swap out the whole pedestal piece on the front? Also, will it make the front end shorter or remain same height?

Thanks

If you got a split pedestal you can put any front on single wheel non rollomatic square axle round axle 38inch axle etc........height should only vary with tire size ,,if you dont have a split pedestal not much you can change, maybe you want to find a split pedestal if you dont have one

Yes, you will need to install a "split pedestal" on your A if you desire to swap frontends in short order.

a none rollamatic frt will have lower ride
height. But I don't know if you could remove
the center shaft from a None rollamatic frt
& reinstall in a casting that was made for
a rollamatic.. ???

I pulled a non rollamatic shaft and hubs out of a mid 40s A and installed it in my 52A. I had to shorten the gear on the top that the worm gear on the stearing shaft turns, no problems.
