The Gibbons cross member has not been available for a long long time and may be only available as a used take off. Most advice here will be to go with a newer IFS, like a crown vic or Jag. A few have even used a Lexus sc400 IFS. Do your research and make a plan.

a few threads about the Gibbons and Volare IFS

a well done report on the CV IFS
