Re: best method to IFS 47-54 Pickup??

'Best' always implies a context. How is he going to use the truck? What is best for most everyone else may not be what is best for your dad.

An option not yet mentioned is Scott Danforth's crossmember that mounts g-body/s-10 suspension components. Its another system designed for these trucks instead of simpy adapted from a car.

The front suspension is too big a component of how fun a truck is to drive to make a snap decision.
