Thread: 1940 Chevy front suspension

Tweet

I wouldn't go with the Volare clip - especially if you have the Mustang clip sitting next to it. I guess it comes down to how much work you want to do. Obviously, changing the shocks only takes a turn of the wrench or two - but then, you have a 1940's suspension.

Installing a MII suspension isn't hard, but you have to be careful, and be able to weld - or take it to someone who can. It will be a lot more work to use the MII, but the ride will be worth it. I installed one in a '30 A-bone sedan, and it rode like a slot car. You will not regret using a MII setup if you're looking for a cruiser.

If you go with the MII, I recommend Heidt's. They've done their homework.

I agree with Henry! Although there are allot of company's that have the Must II. Heidts is great but do not be afraid to look around like TCI or Fatmans.

Thanks, Jeremy and Henry. I have stick, gas and MIG welders so the welding part isn't a problem. I put a Camero Clip in my '48 Hudson. I worry about getting the geometry and ride height right. What do you think about Chassis Engineering's bolt in cross member? The geometry should be correct and the ride height is adjustable. Do you get instructions and measurements with weld in cross members? I've heard of some MII installations that weren't right and the car didn't drive worth a flip.
