i would never want to see a chevelle modified and downgraded to straight front, thats crazy IMHO

my stepdad has a 57 thats been i guess converted? to straight front, has leaf packs and knuckles type spindles and rear steering, was a drag car tubbed and engine under dahs and everything but body is nice, he needs and wants to go to IFS but we dotn know how or what to get to do this, i figure find a rear steer A or B or G body 60s or 70s car and put that on it ?

the solid beam leaf suspension under it looks to be fabbed because the leaf hangers and everything are welded to the frame rails, and so are body mounting brackets, i figured originally they would be riveted or bolted ?? no ?


what can he do or shoudl he do ?

i know of a 71 cutlass supreme for cheap that we coudl take IFS from and put under the 57, could this work somehow ?

and did '57 come with IFS originally ??? normal control arms ? rear steer ?

thanks
