I have a chance to buy the front clip from a mid 80's Chevy truck to put in my 59 Suburban. Is this a good choice? He wants $400.

Most say "too wide."

I know the later IFS is too wide for an Advance Design truck, but isn't a Task Force truck a little wider?

I think you should be able to beat that price. I've seen complete running trucks in that price range.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...

I'm sure I can get them down on the price. I'm just having a tough time deciding what to do. It will take a while to save for a Mustang II or similar bolt on solution. But I want it to fit. The perfect cenario would be finding a donar that would yield me an engine, tranny, power brakes, power steering and AC. What model and make works the best for a TF Suburban?
