Projects 1939 packard 120

does anybody know what front end will fit on a '39 packard 120? PS,PB, IFS

 

A friend of mine has a 120 convertible coupe and put it on a 2WD half ton Suburban frame

 

do you know what year?

 

our 41 110 has a 80's corvette clip with air and it is great.

 

i put a 1969 buick skylark clip in mine, but it's drum brakes.

 

I did a 38 packard, made a mess out of it. I was talked into using an S-10 front end with an Izusu rack. The steering was twichy, finally got a valve like they use on mustang 2, and it helped. I understand a 67-68 camero front end will work. If I was doing it again I would keep the packard front end. It has independent front suspension with coil springs. way ahead of its time. Power brakes with a vacuum cannister is doable, and I understand some of the folks are modifying the steering to power steering.
I subframed mine, the S-10 frame was exactly the same. Only took a few minutes to weld it on. Could not use the S-10 steering sector, because it stuck out too far. good luck.
