I looked into the corvette kit that I think you are talking about. If you
buy that complete corvette suspension, be prepared to not use most of it.
The kit uses the a-arms, rotors and calipers and that's it, if I recall
correctly. You will still need to buy coil over shocks, about $300-$400,
and the power steering rack from a late model cougar or thunderbird, 1989
body style and time frame, maybe you could find this used. Then on top of
that there is still the cross member.
I'm not trying to talk you out of it. If that corvette suspension is the
right price, you can always sell off the parts you don't use. That would
offset the shocks and steering rack cost somewhat.
It would be cool to say you had a corvette suspension under that AD!
Hope this helps!

Subject: [oletrucks] Corvette Suspension on AD
I have an opportunity to purchase a complete front suspension from an 89
Corvette, and was wondering if anyone had ever done this setup on an AD. My
54
currently has the stock front setup, but I have been waiting for the right
time,
and the right money to change it over to IFS. What do you guys think? I
have
seen the new kit offered from a vendor in the truck magazines, but was
wondering
if anyone on the list had ever done this. Any advice or information on the
transformation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
