Hot Rods Can someone ID this front end?

I picked up this frame today and would like to know what this front end is. It has been tacked to the frame. It's 5 lug. Here are a few shots of it. I'd like to buy the stuff to rebuild it but I need to know what it is first. Thanks

 

Nothing I recognize. Possibly off some small pickup with the looks of that crossmember. At any rate I'd think you have about 150 lbs of s**** metal there to cut off and haul off to the s**** yard.

 

Corvair.

Bingo,they were the hot set up for street rodders before the Mustang II.

Most of the guys reversed it around from the way this one is mounted. HRP

 

Yep, a lot of cars got them back then.

Some sort of Ford Convertible? I say that because of then lower A-arm strut and the X in the frame. But I'm a Chevrolet guy, so it could be almost anything. I am Butch/56sedeandelivery.

 

Corvair, so this is something I can use? Good news.

 

There are MANY better suspensions to use that will be much cheaper to buy the rebuild parts for. If you need IFS, get a Mustang II and the rebuild stuff will be cheap. And the geometry will be much better, with disk brakes, and R&P steering. Don't waste your time on the Crovair.
