I am looking for a mustang cross member for a 1928 Chevy. What do you recommend steve
Steve, I don’t know of a Mustang II crossmember that will work in a stock-fendered ’28 Chev because of the way the front fenders sit on the frame and because the front splash apron and the MII rack will want the same space. But if you aren’t using stock-style front fenders, either of our 56″ Mustang II kits will work well.
To use conventional coil-overs or ShockWaves, see http://104.154.121.234/#!/Mustang-II-Crossmember-Kit-Coil-Overs/p/51209593/category=12959481 .
To use Mustang II-style springs and shocks, air springs, or Mustang II style coil-overs, see http://104.154.121.234/#!/Mustang-II-Crossmember-Kit-Coil-Springs/p/51209443/category=12959481 .
If you do plan to use stock front fenders, we have used Heidt’s Superide for 1934 Fords in early Chev builds. It requires very little trimming.
Thanks for looking at Welder Series parts.

I am looking for a mustang cross member for a 1973 Datsun 1200. The track width is 1240mm What do you recommend steve
John, I suggest getting the 56-1/2″ kit and some narrow control arms. Mock up everything using a bar to hold the lower arm level, including the wheels and tires that you will use. This will require tacking some fill pieces to hold the upper mounts in place. Then roll the assembly under your Datsun and establish how much has to be cut from the middle of the crossmember to put the tires where you want them. A narrowed rack will be required. A source is MAVAL Mfg. http://www.mavalgear.com/the-world-of-unisteer.html .
Hey Paul, I have a 1980 Chevy Luv Truck that I want to put a Mustang II front suspension into. I ended up with some Mustang II parts, that I would like to install in the truck. The truck has a 102.5 Wheelbase, 51.5 rear track width, and 51.75 front track width. I don’t know the distance across the frame rails yet, but I know you are going to need them. I have a few scattered Mustang II parts, originally for a 1950 Chevy. A Mustang II cross member, which is going to be way too wide, A arms, that are probably going to be too long, with spindles with rotors for disc brakes with Chevrolet bolt pattern, generic shocks and springs, and some QA-1 coil overs that I will have to find out what they will fit. I wanted to ask you if any of this will work, and purchase from you what I don’t have, to make something that will work.
Thanks,
Hal
Do you have anything that will work for a 1964 Austin Healey Sprite?
Hi Mark, thanks for your note. You’re not the only one who’s asked us that! Here’s a link to a post from a number of years ago: http://www.welderseries.com/2009/12/dear-welder-series-austin-healy-sprite/. It appears to be a difficult swap, but we’d like to know if you attempt it.
Thanks again for writing.

Do you have anything that would work on an AMC 82 Spirit?
Hi Alfred. Do you know what the track width is? If you’re comfortable doing some frame work, our kit would be a good option.
I have a 53 ford ranch wagon, do you make a mustang 2 cross member?
Thanks
That’s a really neat car… I believe you’ll have to fabricate a front clip that our crossmember would weld to. I found a thread on the HAMB where someone is building a Ranch Wagon: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1953-ford-ranch-wagon-build.936826/. They installed a Camaro clip, but you could do a similar setup with a Mustang II grafted on.
Thanks!

Hi DW, this may have been covered already, but here goes. I have a ’61 Falcon. Would your MII kit for the ’63-’65 fit?
Thanks
Hi Wade, you’d use the 56″ kit in your Falcon.
Thanks
I am intrested in weather there are any problems putting the welder series coil over mustang setup under my full fended 34 fordoor
any interference with fenders
thanks Scott
Scott, the fender braces bolt to the frame where the upper towers for the control arms attaches. Usually, builders cut the fender braces and make brackets to bolt or weld them to the upper towers.
There isn’t any interference between the Mustang II parts and the actual fenders.
Thanks for looking at Welder Series parts for your project.
Hello. I am building a custom frame with an OD of 30 inches. Do you make a mustang 2 front suspension with a 52 inch track that will fit it?
Thanks Ken A
Hi Ken. The outside width of the frame should be about 26″ for a track of 52″. Short arms could be used and the frame could be a little wider.
Thanks for the reply. I haven’t started to assemble the frame just yet. And 26″ wide frame is no problem to build instead of 30″ wide. Could you list the all the parts I would need get the front suspension on wheels. It’s a small VW truck build going for a Rat rod look. So looking to build it on a buget. Thanks
I might do the m2 conversion on my 83 ranger.
I’m looking to replace the original ford mustang 2 cross member that is currently in my Cobra Kit car with one of your coil over cross members. I will be upgrading the a-arms to original length tubular strut-less and installing coil over shocks.
What coil over cross member would retain the original mustang 2 width/geometry.
Hi Stan. If it’s a stock Mustang II crossmember in your car now, then the 56-1/2″ track width kit would be the one to use. https://welderseries.com/-p51209593
Thanks!
DW Horton
do you have a kit that will fit a 1972 ford mavrick
Hi, Harold. Our 56-1/2” kits can be used in your Maverick.
If you want to use coil-overs or ShockWaves, see https://www.welderseries.com/-p51209593 .
If you plan to use Mustang II springs, see https://www.welderseries.com/-p51209443 .
In both cases, frame work and inner fender panel work will be necessary.
Thanks for considering Welder Series parts for this project.

What kit would you recommend for an International Harvester A110
Hi, Nathan. I like International trucks but don’t know the track width or frame specs for the different models. We make kits for track widths of 56-1/2”, 58-1/2”, 60-1/2”, and 62-1/2”. We define track width as the dimension from wheel mounting surface to surface on the rotors. For a 56-1/2” track width, the easiest frame widths to work with are between 26 – 30” outside. As the track width increases by each 2” increment, the “easy” frame widths also increase by 2”. For frame widths larger or smaller than the “easy” widths, the frame can be stepped in or out to accommodate the crossmember and towers. There is some info about this at https://www.welderseries.com/-p51209443.
Thanks for considering Welder Series parts for this project.
