The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - Scotts IFS (bolt-in)

As a newbie just learning how to weld, I do not quite trust my skills for something as major as a IFS for my '52 frame.

Hopefully Justin will chime in, but if I use the bolt-in IFS, can I later on reinforce the install with seam welds as my skills improve or is the bolt in secure enough that any welding is overkill??

Also, I hope to reuse my straight 6 (292) and will this clear the power steering rack?

Thanks in advance Justin or anyone else who can help.
