I'm with you. I did it to a 48 Ford F1 pickup I built using a 79 Malibu clip. Ride height was fine and drove out good, I slipped the Ford frame into the malibu clip and split the malibu clip in four places using a sawzall. Then welded it up and fishplated the malibu to the Ford. It was a budget job and worked out ok. I just think the newer Mustang II and Mopar torsion bar based front ends are much cooler and more temporary. I just figure someone down the road may want to use some other kind of suspension, and scabbing the malibu onto the ford was too permanent. Other than that, let nothing but fear hold you back.
