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?

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?

IIRC the outside to outside width of the frame is 34" - but I'm a long ways away from my manual....

Outside of the frame at the front for the 3100 models in 1957 is 34.000"

Thanks. 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.
