Hello Roomies......HAppy holidays..... And know that that is said and done, I need some expert advice..... And where better to get advice than from the guys and girls at 47-80 chevys truck performance.com LOL Anyway I am Building a 1959 Apache Fleetside Short bed and I wanted to change the front end to a bolt on something.... I your guys opinion What is the best front end set up to buy and also where from? ALso I want to kinda stay away from the camaro front end as they are to bulky.Let me know!

optiona are:
MII from various vendors all just about the same in installation. I don't know who is doing boltins for that frame. this is the hardest of the three

RBSobsolete has avery nice slide in and weld unit that uses impala parts. this is already setup for bumper and radiator brackets and engine mounts.

64 chevy impala clip. Its supposed to slide in the frame rails and weld up. has motor mount in place but no bumper or radiator bracketc.

dwcsr,

Thanks for the input. I'm actually looking to do some sort of IFS on my 55 Pickup. I looked at the RBS kit on rbsauto.com and noticed they make a good looking kit for the 1st series 55 here: IFS KIT (http://www.rbsauto.com/product.asp?Product_Id=173048&d_Id=17224&l1=17224&l2=) that includes disc brakes as well. Do you know of any kits like this one made for 2nd generation 55's?

The slide in kit for the 55-59's looks like it's just the frame mod then you'll have to get all the remainder parts seperate. Which is fine of course, but it would be cool if they had a complete package like the link above.

Thanks again,

I just bought a Crossmember from Industrial Chassis. It is stronger and heavier duty than a Mll he has it all or just crossmember

thanks for the good info guys I will look into them!

Welcome to the board from central Califorina!:metal: Good luck on your build!
