Classic trucks may have significantly improved their journey with the replacement of the original facade of a modern independent front suspension. It is something that can be done with almost any brand of old classic car or truck.
The main reason for installing a independent front suspension with his old truck to improve the quality of travel, but can also be done to lower the suspension and give the old truck are completely different. The interface type can also choose to give your old truck a wider stance.
Depending on the brand and model of your old truck, you can choose between several types of interfaces. At Chevy Trucks between 1947 and 1955 one of the easiest ways is to go ahead Series Chevy C10 between 1973 and 1987. The Assembly unlocks and low and can be completed bolted to the chassis of old Chevrolet truck. The Government General may also be installed on the old truck. This type of suspension is very strong, has disc brakes and will last forever classic truck. But Attention: all this is a relatively easy adjustment can be done by an amateur. You will take precise measurements of both systems, even before removing suspension of C10 donor truck, in particular address elements, if you want to do good work.
Another type of suspension was used in both Ford and Chevrolet trucks old habit of being found in the old AMC Pacer car of the 1970s. This type of suspension has also the advantage of being a complete unit that can open the lock of the donor car and bolt the structure of the old truck. A kit for this adaptation is available for sale in vending parts of many old truck.
Among the advantages of this type of suspension is that which comes with brakes front disc and rack and pinion steering. The installation of the Pacer suspension is easier to do the installation for the suspension of C10, but there problems here too. First, it is very difficult to find a Pacer suspension today. The car left the production of more than two decades and is not produced in large quantities to start. And even if you find one of these suspensions will be difficult to rings and other components you need for reconstruction.
Another option to improve the way conventional trucks is to install a modern IFS produced specifically for your brand and model of the old truck. There are several companies that do this and their systems are the best you can come with disc brakes, rack and pinion steering COILOVER and springs. They are the best and are also more expensive. Their prices start just over $ U.S. 1000 and reach a maximum of around U.S. $ 3000. But if you can you allow one of them will be rewarded with the best type of independent front suspension now available for older trucks.
The type of Mustang II independent front suspension is also an excellent option for old trucks. You can find a Ford Mustang II and the use of suspension or purchase this type of interface ready to install on your old truck. It is one of the strongest you can get and the quality of travel you feel like you're driving a car.
