    ah... a topic that I have some first hand knowledge on.

    I did a lot of research on this topic before purchasing my kit for a 36 chevy sedan. Many places do not have an IFS set-up for the 36 standard sedan. They have everything pre and post 36 but not the 36. Of the ones that do, I was told by a reliable builder to stay away from fatman's because they have fit issues sometimes.

    The one I went with was Jim Weimer rod garage for the complete set up. While their instructions were not the best and they are rewriting them, their help line was very helpful. Installing it was a snap and quality is very sound as it fit perfectly. My IFS is very solid. My best advice is to make sure you set the exact ride height then when putting in the crossover piece - make sure it's level and parallel to the floor. tack weld and check it. Don't be afraid of cutting the tack welds and redoing it again if it isn't perfect. You will thank yourself later for being extra careful here. Once my welds were cleaned up with a carbide dual cut burr, everything looked perfect.

    oh and they do have a kit for your 46 chevy truck at www.jimweimerrodgarage.com
