    Hi all,
    I have a "new" project (1949 3100) I am about to start and would like to put a new IFS on it. My understanding is that a 1/2 ton IFS will fit on it with a 1/2 inch plate on each side. My question. I have a 3/4 ton rounded up as a ossibe donor. Are the framess the same width and will the IFC fit on my 49?

    [updated:LAST EDITED ON Dec-10-02 AT 02:20 PM (CST)]My friend had just installed a 73-87 suspension system in a 49p/u
    but it only required a 3/16 plate on each side of the frame.
    It works great, he used a column out of a astro van,had to bend the mount plate then it bolted right up.
    ONLY ON A CHEVY !!!!!!!!!!!! this setup will require after market eng and tranny mounts.
    My 48 is next
