I've just completed the exact modification that you are referring for the same reasons on my '52. I used 2001 Saturn Vue parts I obtained on Ebay and it works great. I used the EPS to drive the stock steering box but if you are going to go with IFS the install would actually be easier. Be prepared to do a litte fabricating and spending a little time behind the lathe and mill. Send me your email address and I can send pics.
thanks davealden, getting up there in age and need some modern comforts in my beloved 54 AD, she will be a cadilac 261, air con, IFS suspension, 55.1 rear end with 3.36 gears, 2 link rear suspension and power windows and will keep it stock looking. the only thing where i'm second guessing myself is the s10 t-5 over a auomatic trans. thanks again for the pix
