Re: Ifs

yup, like mr48 says, get it home and see what you have. I had a truck that was in pretty good shape from a walk around but when I got it home the farmer had installed the box back on the truck after having had a hydraulic deck on it for years. the hydraulic deck had been installed by somebody who had butchered things to get it to fit and then it was quickly removed with a torch. I only used the body parts from that truck as the frame was too far gone. with the assembly manual in hand, and an original frame for reference, you could fabricate your own frame from rectangular tubing if need be. or an original 1/2 ton frame could be sourced. most IFS will want a section of the frame to be boxed in so if the frame that comes under the truck is viable it could be modified to fit the IFS you go with. will you lower the truck or are you looking for a stock ride height?
