64Fleet: Who makes a "bolt in" improved front suspension for 1959 Chevy Truck 34" frame? You Mean the donor truck method from a 73-87? That conversion is not "bolt in" either. Next part not directed at anyone, just my opinion: That's the problem, they are cut, fab, narrow and weld. Would you pay a lot of money for a truck with a front end swap done by who knows who? that who knows what? What about weld strength and what kind of geometry, symmetry and alignment was adhered to? It's not a job for a back yard, wrought iron gate builder. You don't do it with a 120V mig. The therapy you get might be physical therapy at the hospital. In the 55-59 Truck Manual, there is a section on welding to those frames. Very specific warnings and methods. Most add on front suspension kits use boxing, these old original frames are not to be boxed, they are meant to twist, engineered to twist. Boxing is for hot rods. Everybody thinks boxing like Chip Foose, makes you go faster. They are trying to make the frame stronger because the load is transferred from a spread load at leaf spring hangers to a point load at the A arm. In my opinion the way to go is a complete chassis like a Fatman chassis, built and engineered from scratch. About $8500.
