are you sure that's not Henry J suspension? HRP

 

The front end looks like '49-'54 Chevy stuff to me.

 

The rear looks like a '49-'56 Ford, preceding the 1957 arrival of the 9".

 

I was just thinking that too maybe henry j but recall what my front end looked like
So you think its pre 9" ford so what would it be

I was think it looked a lot like what was under my Henry J,the car is long gone so I can't be much help. HRP

 

rear axle looks like a 5-6-7- chevy 10 bolt?

 

looks like chevy to me...

 

Yep Yep, early 8.2

 

I second that motion. Better yet, Early Corvette

 

'55-'64 Chevy rearend.
'49-'54 Chevy car or '53-'62 Corvette. Both the same.

 

I also vote 5-7 rear and early chevy/vette front

 

ding ding ding we have a winner.

 

looking at the front spindle should be a 53 or 54 chevy. the rearend should have numbers on driverside front at the center pumpkin.

 

YEP ! Looks like my 59 Corvette suspension.

 

I will look for the numbers on the pumpkin and get back thanks a friend has a 57 and his was identical!

Yep, it looks like they did it quite a while ago too.

 

should have a big letter "p" for posi on rearend.

 

How about a pic of the topside?

Does this mean subframed surplus is traditional?

 

No mention of motor. I just said looks like my 59 corvette suspension.
We don't know what motor you have in it. Just sayin.

 

+34 on 49-54 Chevy car front suspension. Bendix brakes will narrow it to 51-54.

 

motor numbers come up as a 59 chevy or corvette plus my friend has a 59 corvette with that front end and another friend with a 57 chevy that has the rear end so thanks everybody for the help

 

Started doing the front suspension in the jeep and found out that early Chevy front ends switched to ball joints in the mid 50s but corvette kept The king pin set up to I believe 62 or 63.
I also found 54 full size Chevy shocks have 1 bolt on top and 2 bolts on the bottom, and the corvettes shocks have 1 bolt on top and on the bottom.
I ordered a rebuild kit from kanter for a 54 full size Chevy and had to return it and get get the corvette rebuild kit.
Does anybody have any tips on putting this front end back together maybe torque specs for The control arm nutz?

So it's an actual Corvette front end?

That being the case, you could probably sell it to the high dollar Corvette restoration crowd for enough money to buy a regular car front end and the rebuild kit.

Manuals with specs shouldn't be hard to come by, though.

 

Yes I am gonna say its corvette and who ever built this sedan delivery from cali did an awesome job.
When I pulled the radiator out to replace it there was a tag on it from Monterey California !
