didn't Ricks Pickupparts redo an older body on a new IFS frame?
its neat that someone is willing to think outside the box and has the talent to pull it off, but (IMO) IFS =

What bugs me is the new frame, but a carb'd engine? If you are going to go new, go all the way. Does look like a nice truck, and the IFS is a bit weak, but rides good.

Well, all stock 67-72 2wd trucks already ARE IFS.
i have heard of swapping to a newer vette IRS setup, but only in the rear. don't know why you'd want it up front, sounds like too much of a nightmare, and for little gain. and the truck in the ebay auction is 4x4, there are no stock 4x4 vettes to my knowledge.
