need help with new gibbon ifs install

need some help with a new install of an obsolete conversion kit, gibbon kit 613, although any gibbon rear crossmember should work.

if any one out there has this set up i can use some help, its going into a 61 uni shortbed.

I picked up the gibbons ifs with almost all the parts needed for the conversion for a great price. i do not know which donor car was used. the instructions name a bunch besides the cordova...

the problem i am having is that i did not get the rear cross member with the kit and the strut rod brackets were hacked.

so if anybody out there is reading this thread ... i could use dimensions of the three pieces that make up the rear cross member,plus hole locations, and the same for the strut brackets
also if you can copy your instructions they might be newer than mine(or more complete)mine I believe are from 91..

besides that, how do you like your ifs since it has been awhile. insights and suggestions would also be great

thanks

I think the gibbons kits use a volarie front end, which makes it torsion bar. If I am not mistaken there are a few pieces of the volarie front ends that are either no longer in productoin, or are impossible to find. Making it an out dated front end with parts that are hard to find. Not to sure you are really gaining anything by installing it.

Surely someone who knows more about one will speak up. I looked into it for my f100 at one point, but decided against it, for those reasons.
