They will have the front end stuff that you want
If you cut and install a junk clip in your frame, In my honest opinion
are doing harm to the integrity of you frame. I have seen countless
times that people have cut there frame to do a front clip change and it
turn in to a real mess you had better know what you are doing when you
start because it is not as easy as some will tell, you better know how
to weld like a Pro. Now you can buy a new IES front end that will bolt
in to these trucks with minimum welding I would use one but in my 54 I
have Power Steering with an 800 sires Saginaw Box works OK with my org.
straight axle. If you want some pictures ping me off list I will send
them if you are in Texas or not Call me if you want 817-437-2892
