1990 Aerostar Van Front Suspension

I was wondering how to install a Aerostar van front suspension on a '55 F100 frame. Is it just cut and weld?

aerostar uses a botl in crossmember. requires dilling a few holes and light fabbing/welding for upper a-arm mounts iirc. makes for a pretty nice install, however there aren't any dropped spindles or anything like that available. not a bad way to go for a daily driver.

This 10-page article is the result of 10+ yrs of FTE and aftermarket experience, well worth reading: 53-79 F-Series Steering & Suspension .: Articles

It covers the Aerostar, MII, Dakota, and even the AMC Pacer IFS options in detail.
