Welcome fellow '62er!
Mustang II IFS is my suggestion.
You don't see much Mustang II IFS on these year trucks besides mine as I know of.

Your truck looks awesome.

Just picked up my front clip of a 78' today!!! Prob gonna get into it in the next week or 2... Can't wait to get rid of the torsion bars... And get some stopping power... Drums are scary when you got some muscle under the hood... Haha

Italia · 01-15-2011, 03:43 PM

SO..... should i go with 22's or 24's???

THANKS GUYS!!!

Italia · 01-15-2011, 03:48 PM

last one comes machined with black lip like the first 2, or it comes in ALL black..... lemme know what you think guys.... THANKS!

sams60gmc · 01-15-2011, 03:58 PM

I think they will look sick. I like the last ones.
Wish I could fork out the dough for the wheels I want. But at 400+ its tuff!

paul63c10 · 01-15-2011, 04:11 PM

cool, thanks a lot!

in my opinion the 2nd to last one looks the best with all black and the chrome rivets.

so the guys who are gonna do my front end swap are backed up for a few weeks!!! SO frustrating.... i would do it myself if i had the space and the tools..... (and i guess the know how).... HA.... oh well i been doin little things that i can do right in my garage...

Put a NEW Grant steering wheel on today....

ALSO, was gonna replace Turn Signal switch and Turn Signal Mechanism.... BUT everything works and looks fine so i left them alone....

sams60gmc · 01-25-2011, 01:12 AM

If its not your daily driver I'd say blow it apart in your garage and do it your self. Its a super easy job. I can give you a hand too.
