52 Chevy front setup

[Carnut]

Hey there,

is there any easy air setup for the front suspension of my ' 52 Chevy deluxe ?
rear seams easy (air over leaf), but no front setup seems available ???

Thnx for reading ;)

The coil spring pocket on that car is really small, like 5" . The bag needed to pick up the front of it is about 6.5" in diameter. It would take a considerable amount of cutting to make this work. Your best option would be to update the whole front end to a Mustang II front end. I think a few companies might even make a bolt on kit for it. This way you can also use a modern braking and steering system to make it road worthy.

well, as nice as a Mustang II front is, buying and importing it here will cost me at least 3K or so, not an option for me. So any input how to do the front still is welcome !!

I can' t say that we have ever done it here, but one of my customers claims he is going to try it on a 50 in the next couple weeks.

hey, that' s cool !! keep me informed on that....I also discovered these Air-cylinders, they normally should fit easy, but the person I talked to said it would give a very stiff ride...
