volare swap
hello again and thanks for the help in the past.
project. 1953 f100. 197? volare subframe.
well i have finally ordered up the no limit video and soon i will be grafting the sub frame in. now i think i might have wasted some time. question, when i am ready to tack and weld the sub frame in do i need all the torsion bar assembly, stearing box and rotors on? i guess i wasnt thinking and wanted to get the new bushings for the assembly, and took everything apart. but now i have no way to find out when the wheels will be centered. did i just waste alot of time or is there another option?
thanks Joel

Yes that's what I meant.Wait till you get the video.I think it comes with templates.My templates were homemade from another set.Not all that accurate but between some magizine instructions and the forum on this site I made it work quite well.I cut off the dog ears and tucked clip inside the frame instead of almost cutting the frame in half as most instruct you to do.Looks a lot better and is much stronger.Check with Bobs F100's.That's how they do it.Looks factory when completed.

Joel,
The video does not come with templates but you don't need them if you follow the directions in the video. Templates are not that reliable anyway as the Volare suspensions are not all exactly alike. I have a few pictures of my 87 Chrysler T-bar installation into my 48 F-3 in my gallery. I am also using the Chrysler rear springs and rear end to soften the ride
