Classic trucks can have their ride greatly improved with the replacement of the original front end with a modern independent front suspension. This is something that can be done with almost any brand of classic car or old truck.

The main reason for the installation of an independent front suspension on your old truck is to improve the quality of the ride but it can also be done in order to lower the suspension and give the old truck a totally different look. The type of front end you choose may also give your old truck a wider stance.

Depending on the make and model of your old truck you can choose between several types of front ends. For Chevy trucks made between 1947 and 1955 one of the easiest ways is to get the front end of the C10 series Chevy trucks made between 1973 and 1987. The assembly unbolts and comes down complete and can then be bolted to the frame of the old Chevy truck. The whole steering assembly can also be installed to the old truck. This type of suspension is very rugged, has disc brakes and will last forever on classic trucks. But beware: although this is a relatively easy adaptation it can't be done by an amateur. You will have to take careful measurements of the two frames even before you remove the suspension from the donor C10 truck, especially the steering components if you want to do a good job.

Another type of suspension which has been used in both Ford and Chevy old trucks used to be found in the old AMC Pacer automobile of the late 1970s. This type of suspension also has the advantage of being a complete unit that you can unbolt from the donor car and bolt to the frame of the old truck. A kit for this adaptation is available for sale at many old truck parts distributors.

Among the advantages of this type of suspension is the fact that it comes with front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. The installation of the Pacer suspension is easier to do then the installation of the C10 suspension, but there are a few problems here too. First, it is very difficult to find a Pacer suspension nowadays. The car went out of production well over two decades ago and it wasn't produced in large quantities to begin with. And even if you find one of these suspensions it will be difficult to get the bushings and other components you'll need to rebuild it.

Another option to improve the ride of classic trucks is to install a modern IFS system produced specifically for your brand and model of old truck. There are several companies that do this and their systems are the best you can find, with disc brakes, rack-and-pinion power steering and coilover springs. They are the best and they are also the most expensive. Their prices start a little over US$ 1,000 and go all the up to almost US$ 3,000. But if you can afford one of these you'll be rewarded with the best type of independent front suspension available today for old trucks.

The Mustang II type of independent front suspension is also a great option for old trucks. You can either find a Ford Mustang II and use its suspension or buy this type of front end ready to install in your old truck. It is one of the strongest you can get and the quality of the ride will make you feel like you're driving a car.

Eagle Body Kits—make Your Eagle Look Cooler

 

If you are bored with the look of your Eagle vehicle and you want to personalize it according to your creativity, then the best solution for you is to add body kits.

Body kits are stylish exterior modifications of a vehicle. Nowadays, more and more people are seeing the aesthetic importance of body kits, and each day more and more people are getting hooked. Bear in mind though that before you buy an Eagle body kit, or any body kits for that matter, three factors have to be considered: the type of body kit you want, the quality, and the material the body kit is made of.

In case you do not know yet, body kits can identified into three types: lip, bumper replacement and wide body. All three can beautify your Eagle car but the main difference is in your personal taste or preference regarding what you think will be the best look for your car. After choosing the type of body kit you want, you will now have to choose among all the different models within the type of body kit you chose. Remember that the size of body kit is an essential part to your decision. You do not want to waste your money and your time by ordering a wrong size. Make sure that the body kit matches the specifications of your car.

Lip kits are advisable for those who want to work at minimum and would want to handle less possible damage in the future. Lip kits can be installed and be removed easily without requiring too much work and is good for people who may want to retain the look and condition of their car, in the future before, the kit.

Another body kits type you can choose is the replacement bumper kits which take time to install and fit very differently.

The last type of body kits you will have to consider is the wide body kit. Wide body kits are generally more expensive and in terms of installation difficulty, it is easier to install compared to the replacement bumper kits.

The next factor that you need to decide on is whether or not you will choose a urethane body kit or a fiberglass body kit. Body kits are made of these two materials, the former is damage resistant but once damaged cannot be repaired. Urethane is advisable for those who drive too close. Added to that, Urethane can be a good choice come the cold months since it does not crack.

A fiberglass body kit, on the other hand, is the cheaper of the two and can be repaired when damaged. Fiberglass, however, is prone to damages compared to Urethane which is not. Knowing what your practical needs are will help you choose between the two materials body kits are made of.

The final consideration you have to take seriously before purchasing an Eagle body kit is, of course, quality. It will be a complete waste of money and an exercise of futility if you purchase a cheap kit that will break when you pass through a bumpy road. Make sure that the Eagle body kit you are purchasing is reliable and is of very good quality. Read product reviews online and talk to other consumers about the kind of body kits they prefer and why. Because a wide range of body kits is readily available to car owners today, choosing the best body kit that will make your car cooler and the best body kit that will last you several years, if not a lifetime is of prime importance.

Aligning the front wheels of a vehicle requires specialized equipment to achieve the very close tolerances specified by the manufacturer. Aligning the wheels improperly can cause, at best, uneven and/or premature tire wear, and at worst, handling characteristics that could cause an accident.
