    [​IMG]Ok so im not the brightest crayon, but i found a mustangII front clip with all the works! Its an aftermarket not sure of origin, or year it was made but has tubular upper arms adjustable height coils and rack and spindles and rotors...the works! It was cut off an older built 48 plymouth. I got such a good deal I couldn't pass it up on good ole craig's list. I didnt measure it or my frame or anything i just know its worth way more than I paid I'm sittin here wondering will it work??? it will be a few days before I get a chance to do some measuring...any help if these are compatible frame widths? Also I purchased a late model ford 8.8 rear end out of an explorer with discs from the guy supposedly has 373 gears dunno...wonder if it is too wide er not wide enough?? I know I should get a tape measure idiot but this dude had alotta toys and didnt want these anymore and they were dirt cheap and in good condition. I had the extra scratch to buy em and if they wont work on the ole dodge one of my friends could use em...lemme know what you think besides that I need a tape! THANX JAMIE:confused:

    We put a fatman mstgII stub on my buddies '55 dodge with bags.
    Went in fine but if you mount shocks on the outside of the frame watch where you place the mounts.
    The '48 has a narrower track, measure everything and write every measurement down, take photos!
    GOOD LUCK!
