Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

I did reach my goal yesterday, I managed to get the IFS where I wanted it.

First I took the controlarms off and grinded little notches in the lower corners to clear the framerails.







Then I test fitted the IFS, it fits the framerails real good, but the stock X-member is in the way to get it at its place...



I tacked in a temporary x-member and got the X-member out





With the IFS 3/4" further to the front, I'm now happy with the way the wheel sits in the fender





The upper controlarm mount also clears the framerails





It's now 10 o clock in the morning overhere, I hope I get it completely welded in today, so I'm off now!
