Opinions Needed
I have a complete 1973 Ford F100 truck front end on my 1960 F100. It needs some rebuilding. I really would like to lower the front end 2 to 4 inches. I can use drop I beams and rebuild the front end. This will be pretty costly and still not give me a very good ride. Would I be better off with a Fat Man front end (or some other?). This would be expensive but would give me a much better ride. Any opinions or suggestions would be much appreciated. What are any members with 1957-1960s doing to lower theirs? Thanks to anyone for replies.

I see a lot of guys go with a crown vic swap in front, very well documented in this forum. I myself am going with Sids drop front axle and flip the hangers in rear...can get 2-4 inches easily. I may regret going this option in the long run. But for $400 and a weekends work, I feel this is the best option for me at this point in time. I don't mind the "truck" ride. I actually appreciate the simplicity and quirks that come along with a 53 year old truck...
