    Hey everyone,
    Ive been reading this site for some time and finally registered. I Purchased a 1952 Ford Crestline Sunliner. It is a total mutt. Has Chevy 350, 700R4 ******, with an S-10 rear end 373 gears. The problem I am having is the previous owner has done some suspension work to the front end, like adding rack and pinion and changing out the ball joints to GM and adding '69 Camaro disk brakes to the what I believe to be mostly original front end. It is very worn and looks a mess under there. I am looking to get much better performance out of the steering and ride and a cleaner look, and was wondering If anyone had any suggestions or experience in replacing the suspension, maybe mustang II style front end or such. I havent seen to much online for parts to upgrade the suspension for this car. Any help or direction would be much appreciated as this is my first shot at front end suspension work. Thanks..

    Pictures would help,since these Fords had a kingpin suspension up until 1954 it seems more likely that he has grafted on a front clip from a donor car.
