If I could turn back the clock and redo the truck with an IFS, I would.
Money was a factor in my decision as well as my welding ability (I can't.
)
I figured I would just freshen the axle, add power steering and be on my way.
Well, it didn't work out that way. Between fixing screw ups from previous owners (how about a nail, yes a NAIL! instead of the spring bolts on the front springs!!)
and trying to make aftermarket parts fit, I would have been money, time and a few hairs ahead.
Of course, I still can install an IFS, but I have other projects to work on now and limited $$, so I will leave the truck as it is.
