47-54 front suspension question

[RunninLo]

I recently attempted this on a '52. I had recently installed a new front x-member and suspension on my '72 'burb and thought I'd use the stock parts to give the '52 some IFS. The cross member needed to be narrowed 1 5/8th" (maybe 2" don't quite remember now). It went pretty smoothly but the track width was still way too wide. Finally swapped out the whole chassis for a long box std. cab s-10. not too difficult and much better result. the truck is far from a concourse resto quality so we have no plan to be show room stock.since we're trying to build it into a frame laying simple rod style truck track width was really important.
