Description
Bring modern drivability to your 1940–1946 Chevrolet truck with the Heidts Mustang II Front Suspension Kit. This system is specifically designed to replace the original, rigid straight-axle suspension with a high-performance independent setup, transforming your "Art Deco" era pickup into a smooth-handling, reliable cruiser.
Engineering and Construction
Complete Hub-to-Hub System: This kit provides a comprehensive engineering solution, including the main crossmember and all components needed for a professional front-end overhaul.
Tubular A-Frame Arms: Includes paintable tubular upper and lower control arms. These offer a significant upgrade in strength and aesthetics over original or stamped steel alternatives.
Modern Stopping Power: Equipped with 11-inch GM-style disc brakes as standard, providing the consistent and fade-resistant braking performance required for modern traffic.
Precision Steering: Replaces the original steering gear with a precise manual rack and pinion, eliminating the wandering and heavy steering effort associated with vintage trucks.
Kit Includes:
Control Arms: Choice of Stock or Narrow tubular control arms to help center your wheels within the fenders.
Spindles: Available in Stock height or 2-inch Dropped spindles for those wanting a lower, more aggressive stance.
Braking: Standard 11" GM Disc Brakes (Premium Wilwood high-performance upgrades are available).
Steering: Manual Rack and Pinion (Power steering racks are available as an upgrade).
Suspension Options: Standard Shocks and Springs (Optional upgrades include Coil-over shocks or an Air Bag kit for maximum adjustability).
Full Hardware Package: Includes all necessary mounting hardware, spindle nuts, washers, rubber spring cushions, bearings, and seals.
Customization and Handling
This kit is highly versatile, allowing you to select spring rates based on your specific engine choice (whether you're running the original "Thriftmaster" six or a modern V8). To further refine the truck's handling and reduce body roll, optional stabilizer (sway) bars are also available.
