thanks for any help
Danny | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | Too wide and I believe it uses struts but not sure. Check out some of the recent threads regarding suspension options for AD trucks. Best option is an IFS kit. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 19 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 19 | thanks houston54 , maybe that's why everyone stays with the 70's camaro front clips..
thanks for your help

Your '82 has a cradle/crossmember that unbolts but would not be the same because of the strut type front suspension. | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | The second generation subframe is also too wide. You will have have to keep the front end up or you will have wheel/tire/fender interferences which after final paint are not good to find out about. Wheel back spacing does not solve the problem. Go to car shows and talk to people who have done the modification before you decide to go that route.
From my personal experience, the IFS kit is the best way to go on the 47-55.1 series trucks.
You can make anything work but it will be a challenge. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 19 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 19 | thanks for all the help guys, look like an IFS is the way to go
many thanks
