Another Newbie
 Just wanted to say hi to everyone and tell you about my current project a '56 short bed. I bought this a few years ago as an unfinished project that had a 350 TPI / 700r4 with a versailles disc rear and a Gibbons torsion bar front end. The photos are a bit out of date and I'll post some more soon. David

Gibbons is a company that makes Hot Rod fibreglass body shells as well as an adjustable IFS cross member. The cross member bolts right into the rivet holes that held the old I beam to the frame. It allows you to bolt in a Chrysler torsion bar suspension that is adjustable for the heigth that you like.This is kool as it avoids cutting your frame to put in a front clip. This also allows you to install your disc brakes at the same time. esll.
