Re: Chassis dynamics ifs
That's incredible. I have a mostly complete collection of 1974 to 1983 Four Wheeler magazines, and I just skimmed through the 1979 to 1981 issues (just guessing based on the style of the brochure) and couldn't find a single thing about Chassis Dynamics.
Got any more scans? Is that everything? Excellent find!

Re: Chassis dynamics ifs
Crazy! I know they did a crazy 4x4 setup in the vans that used "two differentials". But dont think its the same company.

Re: Chassis dynamics ifs
I never heard of it tell today but don't shock me.Its would be the only ifs on the market at the time,But first would be jeep.They had ifs in the 60s on the m151 mutt and the fsj j truck and wagoneer had it 63-65 before jeep canned the ifs.

Re: Chassis dynamics ifs
My dad always wanted a Tornado front clip for IFS in a 78 step side.

Re: Chassis dynamics ifs
I drive old squares because of the solid axle front end. If I wanted IFS I could be driving a newer GMC extended cab with fuel injection and more luxuries.
