Re: Mustang II IFS Ride Quality VS S10 Swap

I built my 48 ad on an s-10 chassis. Shortening the chassis was a breeze. With help from a few friends I had mine on the street and driving in 6 days. If you have fab skills this in my opinion is the way to go. I drove my truck for 6 years, all year round and had zero issues. No matter what you do, you end up having to fabricate something. I've been in the trade 27 years and have built many vehicles with mustang 2 suspension. Yes it works well, but if you want a driver, spend the time and do the swap. Aftermarket parts are just that, aftermarket. Don't forget your still dealing with 1974 technology. S-10s are cheap to buy and parts are even cheaper. You can use the brake pedal and booster,e-brake, steering column, wiring, ect.... these builds don't end at a mustang 2 kit. You need steering shafts and u-joints, power steering adaptors, motor mounts, brake hoses and lines, proportionING vales ect... just my two cents worth. There is no wrong answer.
