Suspension for older I beam Fords

[nobodyspecial]

Hey, does anybody know if there are any alternatives to AutoFab for pre '79 Fords? Nothing against AutoFab, his stuff is great and I will more than likely end up with some of Johns stuff in the future, but I was just wondering if anyone else makes anything for these trucks, or if he has a monopoly on the early Fords.

Thanks, Josh

Thats a pretty nice looking setup, a little out of my price range, but awesome none the less. Does that price include coilovers?

[tim_krueger]

no, no coil overs for that price

i have bent beams, radius arms adjustable coil buckets and rear steering off my 67 for sale. the beams were bent for about 4.5 inches of lift by duffco a long time a go. im upgrading to keith sato beams and raduius arms and blitz mounts and steering

I didnt think that would include coil overs, but I could hope, couldnt I?

We have a 77 F250 sitting back on our farm that I was planning on using, but when I called home about it, my Dad decided he wants to restore it as a DD. So, now I am looking for another one. Thanks for the offer, but no truck to put it on as of right now :)

We are real happy with our AutoFab front and rear 2 link setup. It has the 1 ton beams and the bigger king-pins.
It steers good and safe at high speed and doesn't have the wander*lust that some trucks I've driven.
The steering is just like he says. Granted it may not be a 'sexy' as some of the others mentioned, but it works!
When you shop around, consider them, I think you'll like it.

yeah we are running a set of 3/4 ton beams up front of our truck that were bent by autofab but we did our own radius arms and we linked the rear we are gunna do the 1 ton beams and the autofab hubs somewhere in the near future good people to work with.

I bought a used autofab kit on another board. I have been very pleased with its performance to date.
