Re: 39 truck
Anyway it all comes to what the owner is able to do with either money or his skills and tallant.
The jags with the V12 2 door weighs just over 4000 lbs. the sedan weighs 4250 lbs. The fully equipped v12 engine itsself weighs 680 lbs---more than an all iron BB chevy. Yea --this suspension can handle the weight. after all the xj mounting brackets are cut/and stuff grinded down it looks like this,........ I spent $135 on this-missing one caliper. This one had some rudely improvised jag-ro-let engine mounts, when these conversions are done they use the jag twin ohc 6 springs--closest to the 575lb small bloch chevy the big brown truck dropped off $125 of new balljoints and bushings. so having them installed -another $30 bucks. and my 38 chevy patently waits on some wodden blocks. |

Re: 39 truck
Hey Truckeez, it seems you have some experiense with those Jag Ifs's, I have a 1946 1/2 ton Deco era Chevy truck, Would you recommend one of this ifs for it? I havent measure the original front track width but it seems to be pretty narrow, would the Jag ifs be about the same lenght?
