anyone have frame specs for a 1939 chevrolet and a 1969 chevrolet pickup? I want to set a 39 cab on a newer chassis w\IFS and the latter bar rear, but don't want to do alot of cutting.


If at first you don't succede, try try again. Then quit, don't be a darn fool about it.

I have used a Corvair front end, they are an easy bolt on and superior to the F**d pony car thing. There are enough Corvairs around you should be able to score one for little cash.

Actually Corvairs are getting scarce. Must II is a better IFS.

Fatfenders used a pacer IFS front end on his 1950ish AD chevy truck.

You can view his profile here:

Message him and ask him for details if you like. It might be a few days before he responds though. He doesn't seem to stop by as much anymore.

What about the original axle, or a newer I-beam, but with upgraded brakes?
