Looks like 30" inside the frame rails where the Vette member sits

Thanks
So that will actually be about an inch or so from the outside walls of my frame so it will work perfect. Now to find the parts for a good price. |

Re: My 1954 with a factory corvette k member/ suspension installed
Honestly I paid $800 for my IFS. Most say I over paid but at the time I was comparing it to $2000 for an aftermarket IFS that may be lesser quality.

Re: My 1954 with a factory corvette k member/ suspension installed
I've found them on eBay for $650 so I'm basing my budget on that. There's a local corvette shop I'm gonna check out.
Mesured my frame and its 31" wide on either side of the spring pockets. I'll probably have to cut out and box the spring pockets before install, unless the control arms will clear it. Looks to be about 35-36" at the widest points of the pockets. Thoughts? |
