Lots of hot rod vendors have kits for that. Usually $100-$150. Or...Look at the kits, see how they're mounted, and go to the junk yard with some measurements. I would think that solid axle 4wd trucks would be close. Shouldn't be too hard to adapt something, and you can brag that you made it.

MrBlue, I just put one on my 54. Got it from Mid Fifty, but it came thru CPP. Fit great. My truck has a stock axle with mono rev. eye spring (apx. 4 to 5" drop with mono-reverse).
Also got the rear but havnt installed it yet.
good luck, Ed

Hey 51, Dont know yet...still in build up stage. I have read that doing mono springs with sway bars is the closest ride to a IFS you can get with the stock staight axle. I think a major difference in handleing would be the choice of shocks...some shock are just junk and dont control the suspension like it should be.
Once its done I'll be sure to report here on what I think.
