It is done, but not very often, mainly because it becomes very vulnerable to damage hangin' out there. I'm assuming you also know that you need to have a drag link style steering system rather than a cross steer.

You will need spindles made for the front mount, or at least steering arms that will give you the proper angles so you don't end up with squirelly steering. Probably the best source for these is an advertiser on this site, Total Performance Inc. Click their link at either the top of the page, or in the left banner ads (constantly rotating ads, so if you don't see it immediately, wait a few seconds). They make the parts as their T buckets have run the front mounted tie rods for years.
