    I am trying to install a fatman drop kit on my 34 Plymouth. It has the original IFS. Needless to say, the instructions suck. The machining required on the steering arms is confusing. The previous discussion on installing one on a 51 Plymouth helped some.
    Does anyone have pics on how they did this?

    Sounds like you need to be asking the vendor instead of here. If they cannot make instructions that you can read and understand then how can they expect you to properly complete the install?
    Maybe the stock ifs doesn't need replacing......

    I don't think that he's replacing the stock IFS.

    I think that he is installing dropped uprights into the stock IFS.

    I have used several Fatman products and have found the tech people very easy to deal with. You need to call them and ask for clarification if you can't follow the instructions.
     
  7. Call Fatman's and ask for assistance! Good people! I you don't get anywhere this way, call back and ask for Brent! He's the owner! Heck, I think he's on here...look him up!

    Could you post some pictures of what does not fit. Maybe we can come up with something.

    That's how I also read it...pictures required. I am sure Fatman would help if they were familiar. I have bought their IFS and their tech people were excellent,,,
    I did find a better set of installation instructions someone else had posted for installing Fatman IFS
