Mustang II Drop Height.. 1954 C3100
hi,
I was wondering if there is a Mustang II conversion for a 1954 C3100 truck that does NOT drop the front end down. I wanted to keep the same ride height but not sure if anyone offers that option in the Mustang II conversions thanks for the help |

Check out Hampshire's build thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=660718
I think that is about as close to stock as you are going to get on a MII without some creative reworking.. Note the location of his UCA's compared to the other systems some of us used. |

...you got it. Every other Mustang II IFS vendor will only sell you low, lower or lowest. That's all anyone talks about on the internet, so....
...thing is, when I go to shows or cruise nites lots of people want to know how I got my near stock stance. My advice, buy Gayle Bridges modification of the JW Rodgarage FE I bought... http://www.gaylebridgesco.com ...the parts are from JW Rodgarage, Gayle just knows them better. Only other alternative is Scott's for about twice the money. When I talked to him he claimed I could set any height I wanted (seems to depend on how you weld in his cross member). His system is a 59" track, that's how his suspension clears the frame. Very slick... Mine can have the optional shorter A-arms if you want the stock track, but I like it at 59" - the wheels don't look like they are sucked in (a complaint I hear a lot about Must II ifs.

Glad to hear you recommend him, Hampshire. I just bought a front suspension from him for a Model A project we're doing. Saw his stuff at the Petit Jean swap meet in Arkansas and he had answers to more of my questions than any other MII supplier I talked to.

Re: Mustang II Drop Height.. 1954 C3100
Yup, when I heard he was basically a home based business(as am I)plus he's only about 130 miles from me I was almost convinced. When he quoted me the price, he finished me off. Saving about $700 over the nearest quote I got off the 'net.
In addition to the drawings for the Model A, he sent me drawings for a bunch of other classics he's got kits for.
