Just a couple of questions. 1) If this is that easy of a swap why hasn't it been done more often? It makes sense that if you want to upgrade the front suspension you would go with something that had parts available. This certainly fits that bill. 2) Why not just rebuild what you have, after all a 60' had IFS on it from the factory. As Glenn has pointed out you are going from a 3/4 ton to 1/2 ton....

I would like to follow along on you decision. I had thought of doing this to my 59' just wasn't sure of the track width and difference in frame width in mounting. headscratch
