It all depends on what you want to do with your truck, how mechanically
inclined you are and how much you want to spend.
If you don't have a mint, and just want a nice ride with good braking, go
with mono springs, power steering conversion and a disc brake conversion.
All three are straight forward to install.
If you've got some dough to spend go with either a c10 crossmember (late
model truck); some drilling, grinding and welding required, mustang II front
suspension; I recommend bolt in units and rebuilt or new components.
If you have a bundle and want the best ride of your life... go with a
corvette or jaguar front and rear suspension.

Subject: [oletrucks] 1950 front end
At the risk of being redundant, I would like any feed back
on replacing the
front suspension on my '50 3100. I want to up date the ride
with power disk
brakes and coil springs or air suspension shocks. Is a late
model donor car
front end a recommended choice or are the new mustang 2
assemblies preferred
and easier to install? In either case what are the pitfalls
of the change
over?
