I found a '50 GMC 1/2-ton that I'm probably going to get in the very near future. One option I'm thinking about is taking a Jaguar and gutting the front and rear suspensions from it, and putting them on the truck! I know it's been done before by someone here. I've got a line on a running '88 Sovereign sedan for dead cheap - less than a grand! I know both the front and rear suspensions off the Jag unbolt from the car as a unit each. This, of course, would yield four-wheel disc brakes, independent rear suspension, and a very highway-friendly gearing with limited-slip differential.

Is there anyone here with first-hand experience with this swap, especially in a '47.2 - 55.1 truck???
