Hi! Bought a 53 Ford F100 with a Ford a 460 engine and Ford Nine Inch rear end but do not know what the front suspension is out of. Where can I find part numbers for identification? Maybe the pictures will help?

well since it looks like it was made for a front sump pan application-I would maybe look at something that had a 460.
Thunderbird? look at steering box, spindles, brake calipers for casting/id numbers
Does your engine have a crank snout power steering pump?
welcome to chr
Lower control arms and struts look like Pinto/Mustang II, but need some further photos of the steering and upper control arm. Steering looks conventional to me, rather than R&P. Is that a spring spacer under the spring? That would make sense, the motor and front end of the truck are too heavy for the flimsy little Pinto/MII pieces.

Looks like AMC Pacer 2 me, get it outta there.
That would explain the conventional steering. Thank you.Quote:

Why is this thread still alive when the original poster has only been here once, never answered, and doesn't seem to care?
