It's the same reason putting the later IFS crossmember under an early straight front axle truck is difficult. The tires stick out from under the fenders too far, and if altered-offset wheels are used to correct the track width it screws up the steering geometry and makes the rig handle like a rhinoceros on a wet clay bank. Buyer beware! Jerry
