48 – 60 Ford Front Suspension Thread

Hi Kenny..... You were commenting on the suspension alternatives, but didn't get to the one that I did, the Camaro/Nova IFS clip. I would be interested in your feelings on this one.
I felt it went very well and I wanted to use a Chevy drivetrain which made it an obvious choice.

Hi Poncho,
I am only "hosting" the suspension alternative thread under my name at the request of the fine gentlemen who put this great article together.
This was done because it needed to be locked, and "stickyed" to keep it at the top which only moderators can do.

I wish I was able to take credit for a piece of work as fine as this, but the truth is that I wasn't involved in putting it together.

Don't worry, I'm told that there are more IFS choices to be added soon. They will be added as soon as I recieve them.

There's an ongoing feedback thread regarding the article here:

Depending on Kenny's schedule, it will be very soon. I will try my best to send it to him no later than tomorrow night. Camaro style as well as Big ol' Ford IFS. They are similar so you might find value in reading the Ford thread too.

fenders,
I am ready, willing, and able!

My schedule looks good. I can't go anywhere or the tarp covering my house will continue to fill with water and probably burst.

Kenny, and all others,

Absolutely outstanding job on the front suspension sticky. It is as concise, accurate, and un-biased as anyone could possibly hope for. A real achievement in technical writing these days.

Just read the article on the Camaro/Nova clip on a Ford truck. Excelent job. However, I don't think it was as hard for me as the author makes it out to be. Maybe, I just got very lucky. I didn't seem to have any problems, although, as he said, I did measure many times before cutting or welding anything. I did my truck about 10 years ago and have driven it accross country 2 times towing a 19 ft house trailer. I love the way it drives and handles.

Poncho

Sounds like you had a very successful install. Please click on the source thread below and tell us what you specifically did that made it a lot easier. We welcome the input. Not too many of the guys here have done the Camaro install.
