TCI Custom IFS

Hi Gent
Hello from South Africa
Hope a fellow builder or enthusiast out there can help me

I am looking for some pictures of the TCI Custom IFS
Looking for a full front on view without Control arms and then also with control arms and then a side on side view to
Living in South Africa I am trying to visualize this setup in my RHD 1956 Ford F100 prior to ordering this kit

Seeing as it will cost me more then double what you gents pay for it with exchange rate shipping and import duties

Thank you in advance

There are different types of TCI IFS systems, are you looking at the Mustang II design or one like is pictured here?

This is a custom IFS for a 56 that I installed on my wife's 52 so it is a little too wide,

we had to notch the frame. Not quite the views you needed but hope this helps.

Looking from the rear. Frame has not been fully notched yet.





Passenger side








Drivers side

Here is my TCI Custom just set on the frame. I think the only thing you would need to do for RHD is relocate the rack mounts? I'd give TCI a call. They would probably even do it for you.

Hi All once again
Thank you for all the help and input I have received from everyone
it has been extremely helpful


Also i got a quote on buying importing shipping and duties to get the suspension to South Africa and I fell off my chairs so i need to start saving so i can import the suspension. But the final cost landed at my door step is $8567,84

So now you can understand why i am asking all these question and need to make absolutely sure that its gonna work

So if anyone can share some measurements with me i would be eternally grateful
Dimensions needed are
Lower Control arms distance between each other on the crossmember
Upper Control Arm distance between Each other on crossmember
distant between upper and lower control arm

would like to rough mark these out on some supawood and lay it on the frame i have

thanks again everyone for your help


regards
Hugh
