If you are good with tape, glue and string I bet it can be done, but cruder tools like twine and duct tape might make it a challenge.

I know that IFS basically unbolts but have no idea how well it might fit under your 40. As an independant front suspension goes though, that isn't one I'd be eager to do much work to get. Most the guys modifying those cars update the suspension.

You might also investigate a Corvair IFS for that truck. The '65 to '67 has the same 5x4-3/4 pattern as the '54 car. I've seen one under a truck of that era. The owner thought it was the best option possible, but since I didn't drive it I won't comment on this claim. I do think it would be better than the '54 Chevy stuff.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
