I am looking at a 5 window '50 pick up that is in good condition. If I buy it, I want to update the front suspension to make this ride a joy to drive. What's out there?

Pinto/Mousetwang II are very popular. The Ford Crown Vic front suspensions are nice also.

Or you might want to do a Dakota front frame clip swap...look in the street rod section. There are some guys on there that have done or are doing the Dakota swap.
I would like to have a mid 50's truck to build.
Good luck on yours!

1964 A100 window van. Just because it has spark plug tubes doesn't mean it's a Hemi.



If ya haven't been there, ya just wouldn't understand.
