Technical Upgrade Front suspension in a 54 Ford F 100

I am restoring a 1954 F 100 and I would like to upgrade the front suspension to something that gives me a better ride. Is their a bolt on option out there, or something with minimal frame reconfiguration?

Thanks
Mike

 

Most people use a MustangII. You may even find a bolt in unit.

 

Lots of Jag fronts used on these trucks. 4 bolts, hook up the steering and brakes. Just like TV, come back from commercial and it's done!

 

Or, just to be different, you could replace the stock springs with de-arched and softened versions of what's in there now. It's be lower and ride much, much better...with no other changes at all.

Nah...that'd be too easy. Better to just butcher it up and put an independent under there, eh...?

 

You can always rebuild the front suspension and get a good ride. HRP

 

Talk to Sid at www.droppedaxles.com. He drives an F100 with dropped axle, etc.

 

I drove a 55 Ford F1 cross country a couple of times and I don't remember it riding bad. I would go with the suggestions of fixing your old springs with some new king pins or what ever it takes. The value of the truck will be better and you will be happy in the end. My two cents. Good luck

 

Crown Vic seems to be the new Jag . Do a little research and see what you think of this swap .
