we just finished the installation of an Aerostar front suspension into a 53-56 frame. It went pretty easy compared to the Camaro and Volare' front ends I have "clipped". The crossmeber unbolts from beneath the minivan. You get power rack and pinion steering, disc brakes, and independent front suspension that was designed to handle the weight of a minivan. Don't use this clip if you want your truck to ride REAL low.

That's cool , I read about that in an old Truckin' magazine. I
always wondered why it never caught on. It looks pretty simple,
if the crossmember is the right width. Tim.

I was wondering if a IFS is narrow than a straight axle? If it is, it would be great, becuase i need 1 1/2 inches on both sides and i can fit front tires in the front fender welds!
