I am looking for a shop in the Central Ca. area that is 1) quallified, 2) reliable 3) reasonable to marry a 74' Camaro RS clip to my 57' Chevy Stepside truck.

I live in Modesto,Ca. which is about 30 miles south of Stockton.

I have called several so called Custom Shops in the area and every one of them have tried to talk me into a MII IFS or a Heidt Super Ride IFS.

The least expensive front end so far has about 1800.00 plus installation.
That price is the basic front end with no frills and and I have to still equip it with rotors calipers and so on.

I have a 74' Camaro RS front clip, complete with steering box, linkage and brake system intact, with the proportioning valve still hanging there, and the rear cross member.

It was unbolted properly, has never been wrecked, and looks to be in very good shape. I plan to rebuild the suspension either before or after it is married to my truck. ( was suggested to be done after by one local shop, to get a feel of how it will set-up)

I have read that because of the heavier weight of the truck, I would need or want to replace the coils and shocks to compensate for this.

I understand that these new IFS are all the rage, and are excellent choices for some, but they have pros and cons as well.

Anybody with knowledge of someone in this geographical area please write back.

Thanks,
Jim
