46 Ford front clip? 8.8 in rear?
Ive got a 46 Ford Super Deluxe and it has a 2in drop axle in the front right now. Part of the deal of me getting it was that my cousin would take the drop axle. (because it was his car and he gave it to me). Therefore i need a new front suspension. I was thinking about front clipping it with a Ranger or fullsize Ford p/u front end, but im not sure (dont have the measurements yet). I dont know what type of vehicle would be best to use for the front clip. I want to go the IFS route, BUT i dont have the $ for a new Mustang II IFS. So im stuck with cuttin the front end off one vehicle stickin it on here. Ideas?
Also, im most likely ill be goign with an 8.8 rear because its readily available to me and i know others who have bult then and it seems like it would work with my application. Thoughts? Ideas? Advice? Criticisms?
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
