<div class="bbWrapper">In mid 1956, Ford installed a 1/2 inch thick by 2 inch wide slab on the frame. It was installed under the frame and also on the X that joins the two sides. The purpose was to minimize frame flexing due to the continental tire. It also helped to redistribute the added weight behind the rear axle due to the continental tire.<br /> <br /> doug7740<br /> 1955 Thunderbird Blue</div>
