That figures,somthing worthwhile is never easy,we have faith in you though,look as some of the minivans I remember looking at those on my last wrecking yard trip,trying adapt one to a Volare style front end ,just hard to find rear steer racks,anyway good luck with it marz!

 

been kind of silent on here of late, any more progress marz. bump to the top

 

If you use the 72 lincoln lowers what will you be using for uppers?

 

Marz-68 I have done fabrication in the past and you are doing an awsome job. Keep it up with pics, specs, blueprints, T-shirts, bumper stickers we just want to see it.

 

It's been a while but I still want to finish it. I've been rushing to get my truck done cause i'm in the process of moving soon. I plan on taking the suspension to my new home and finaly finishing it.

leotismumford69,
The upper arms will be custom cause the steering box gets in the way so the stock
setup wont work.

 

Bump to the top! Still want to see this finished. My motor swapped in all ready, just picked up a new daily so can retire my truck to do the body work, and figure this whole cancellation of the I-beams out.

 

Any progress lately, been kinda quiet.

 

did this ever get done? i just read all eight pages and it looks amazing

 

No I never finished it.....I noticed that people were going with the CV front so I decided to stop for now and work on a rear link setup with bags.
It's all there and will finish it in the future.
I also need to finish my truck.

 

i see, i couldnt go with the cv unit, as i have no welder or skill. if you ever finish a set for a 69 leme know. Also like your chop top thread, you have very good skills.

 

This is kinda off subject but I see a kit to install the CV front end into these trucks as a pretty good chance for someone that can weld to make some money. All that person would have to do is make some bolt in frame supports (made like the Porterbuilt ones for putting their suspension kit in older Chevys) and some bolt on pieces to mount the back of the lower control arm to.

These are the frame supports I was talking about. The builder of the pieces could just put some sleeves in there along with the vertical pieces for the bolts to run through. Also a piece of solid stock would need to be added to the top of the frame to mount the brace support for the top of the CV shock tower correctly.



All in all I think this would be a very easy kit for someone with the right skills to produce relatively cheap. And give others who can't weld the opportunity to bolt in a CV front suspension.


Also if the person making these could make motor mounts that would bolt to the CV motor mount spots would be awesome too. That part might be more difficult???

 

jsutton What type of setup is that in the picture?

 

Porterbuilt for an 70's early 80's chevy, so they can lay out with out the factory crossmember hitting the ground.

 

Shame to see things stopped with this kit

I have a 71 f350 transporter that i want to drop and bag front and rear but want to keep the 8 stud split rims, would this kit have worked for what im after?

 

I am also looking to bag and lower an 8 lug f-250 and run 22" dually wheels with adapters.
