Thanks in advance. Scott

If you're in the rust belt and want to come and restore one of these, you should contact me and consider a trip down to talk to some of the land owners and see what they'd sell the heaps for. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats | | Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 | Hot Rod Dad,
I have a fairly pristine former Minnesota Farm truck, other than the rear fenders being mashed in, beaten out, then re-mashed in multiple times, the truck is in really good shape for the rust belt. Downside is the prior owner disassembled about 15-20 years ago to start the restoration. The stock driveline and suspension were sold by the PO as well. So I am in process of designing a weld-in IFS for the truck.
The problem is I simply need a couple of reference dimensions and prior pleas have gone unheaded. So if I can find one within a reasonable drive, I will take the dimensions that I need myself.
