IRS

My 67 fastback has a 94 mustang gt IRS SO i'm thinking this might work under a old truck. What do yall think ? I'm going to put the mustang on a rack this weekend and pull a tape on it to see how far the spring mounts are apart then do the same on a truck frame. If i have to move the truck spring mounts would it hurt anything ? The old mustangs were bad about fishtailing when you got down on it but my mustang will sit and get with this up dated IRS.

I think that's just too much stuff to break over time and maintain, but if that's your trucks purpose I bet it'd do it's job very well.

There are a few of us on here that have installed an IRS in our old trucks. Do a search and check them out.

I've got the Lincoln IRS on my 53 using the team321 bracket kit. Same IRS as the t-bird, but with an aluminum diff housing.

There's pictures of my install and bracket fitment in my user gallery.

Happy to answer any questions about the install if you have any.
