Heidt's Mustang II crossmembers for 1948-52 Ford pickups offer you the choice of Deluxe (welds ground) or Economy (unground welds). Heidts Mustang IFS kits for Fords are natural conversions for the Ford frames. They retain all the factory dimensions and locations, so you get all the benefit of Ford engineering in your front end. Included in these kits are Heidts' own illustrated installation booklets.
