| | THANKS!
For helping keep this great
old truck web site
on the Internet for over 30 years! and not clogged down with Ads! Again, thanks! | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | I have seen the 73-87 1/2 ton IFS swap into the AD trucks but am curious if this swap will work for 55-59 Task Force trucks. I cannot locate anything on the web regarding this and was thinking the extra width of the task force might fit this wide IFS. Does anyone have any input on this? | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | Thanks Norse. I am wanting to keep the original frame and am wondering if the 73-up front suspension crossmember can be installed to the original Task Force frame. Does anyone have the width dimension for the 55-59 frame at the front axle? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 179 Member | | Member Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 179 | IIRC the outside to outside width of the frame is 34" - but I'm a long ways away from my manual....

There is a 73 crossmember in a salvage yard on the way home. I will stop and measure that to see if it is close. | | |
