front end help

I am shure many people have canged the front axel on old trucks and cars. i have a 1952 F1 and i was wondering what all posible front ends i could use perfeibly the ones with least modifacation as posible. I know the mustangII is popular but the frame is was narrower then that 52. i have measred my 89 E150 and it is close i also have a junk 88 Iroc z and a 79 firebird. just wanting to know what would be the best and least work. Thanks --Andy

Andy,
Read through the sticky about front suspension alternatives. These guys have done an excellent job of pros and cons for most types of swaps.
