how soon are you wanting it?

i'm in nc about half hour from gastonia/I85 and 4 miles from I40 in hickory. waiting on word on a new job but if i've got time before my start date i'm considering a run home to see the folks in south alabama and will be driving right through atl.....ken....

oh and i guess theres the volare/5th ave but some parts are getting hard to find... 03-10 Crown Vic is low on my list because it being 5" wider than the stock front it requires you to usehigh offset fwd type wheels at least 16s and limits your wheel choice. i'm a wheel whore. i have actually ch...

yep as above lots of options.. my personal favs are 1) Jaguar XJ of course since thats what i do. i've actually been waiting for a local guy to bring me a 66 to do jag swap in(possibly bagged). i do jag swaps installed for about what one of those bolt in kits cost....... 2) Industrial Chassis Dakota...

Well stated, Bruce! Wonder what the difference between the 245.00 rack and the " double the price" one is? Next question; with the known "fatigue" rate of the Jag rack, albeit " not a suspension part", is the "half price" one good enough, and for how long? ha...

coming from a retail management and parts sales background i can tell you it's becoming NLA from low volume sales demand. have you noticed how NONE of the parts houses stock stuff like they used to even 5 years ago? half the stuff you could walk in and pick up at any of them 5 years ago is now "...

and please show me this well known list of parts failures..... i know of NONE where the suspension is concerned. yeah the drivetrains suck for the most part and lets not even get into the lucas darklord of auto electrics side but the suspensions are where those cars shine.....

sorry but you're not looking very hard. i can FULLY rebuild the jag front for about $700. most of the donors i've used didn't need nearly that much. $200-300 being typical and thats doing balljoint, control arm bushings, tie rods,etc(wear items that are probably gonna need replaced on most donor sus...

i would expect a $165 wheel bearing to be quality hahaha. or is it one of those the part is integral to it's housing so you buy the unit and it's 10 times what a bearing should cost. we were going to do lexus sc400 ifs in my neighbors 52 f1. all donors we found needed ball joints as they were 200k+ ...

by the time you replace the floor pans and cab mounts and if needed the frame part of the mounts you will be up another couple hundred, not to mention time and welding supplys. theres varying quality on the replacement metal so you want to be sure to get them from a USA supplier like http://www.fla...

all this is making me want to cut the bed from the rusty big window and combine it with one of the better cabs sitting around.. hmmmm slammed argentinian

weird........ never had any of the above issues with afco. but have only used them in street apps and as we all know. we had problems out of some others at the shop but i've honestly forgot who they were from at this point.

look at AFFCO high on the list for coilovers. good products at reasonable prices. we used them at the shop. jay was my sales guy but he may only be commercial sales. really good about giving you a good starting figure for spring rate and open to exchanges with no issue should you need to swap them a...

why go 4 link if you aren't going with something that needs a large range of articulation?

i would consider "truck arm" set up before 4 link. but you can get what you're talking with an axle flip over the leafs and a small 2" C notch.

god i want that uni..

i wouldn't know what to do with a start that good...

race folks also tend to know where you can have it 4 corner weighed telling you what the weight load is at each wheel which can tell you where to start. i seem to remember mentioning to jay at affco i was considering 4 link and coilovers on my uni and he may have said shoot low and work up as needed...

i forgot to mention at least 2 would have to be a pretty close cap/trim ring on match and be 5x4.75 bolt pattern(jag swap). i'll call WV one day this week.

flashback f100 and carolina classics are probably the best 2 suppliers for parts in my opinion. i check them first and then move on accordingly if it's something thats vendor sourced...ken....

just as the title states. got something in my head. using 66 custom cab/car poverty "outtie" caps. i think the series 14 are for innies so anyone know which work for outties?

just guessing i'd shoot for somewhere between 375 and 425 so 400 might be a good starting point. i've dealt with AFFCO mostly on coilovers. jay i beleive is the sales guy i've worked with but he may only be commercial sales as my dealings with them was at the hot rod shop i worked for. ride tech has...

there were 2 unibody gassers at Steel in Motion in south carolina back in may. i nicely done light blue that wasn't that impressive on the track(i think it was technical problems). and a patina'd darker blue and white that was FAST. i never caught the later with the hood up but i heard it was either...
