'76 front end?

I've heard dabs of info about using Jaguar front ends on the front of F100's, but can't seem to get the nuts and bolts of the idea.

Would anyone know anything about this? I want to improve the handling and steering on my 2wd 1976 F100 and am looking for ideas.

In australia, camaro's are rarer than hens teeth. more and more, it looks like people are using jag rearends to replace the ford rearend....... but, this makes no sense to me.........

I have a GMC front end ready to go under my F250. It takes a lot of work tho. The GM frame is narrower near the wheels to mount the A-arms but nearly the same width under the cab. If you intend to carry anything in your modified truck make sure the front suspension and brakes are from a similarly rated vehicle.
