Maybe consider using a Mustang 2 front end. Works well on my '40 pickup. Used 2" drop spindles as well.

Really depends on what you want to do in terms of originality. You can likely find a dropped axle for your vehicle so that you might retain the original suspension. A mustang II ifs is a good option as well with dropped spindles and airbags if you want to really get it in the weeds.

I can fix you up with a dropped axle.

Direct buying/selling should take place in the Swap Meet or in Private Messages or in email. Thank you.

gwater agree with folks above as it depends on your end goal. Not sure of width of rails on a 40 but if you want to go IFS checkout crown vic ifs swaps on google. the 2003-2006 ifs drops out with only 8 bolts and can be purchased for few hundred bucks. Looks to be an easy swap. Good luck
