Hi Everybody I am building a 1958 chevy apache for my father inlaw and am using a 55 frame with total cost involved mustang II front end and 4 link rear. I almost had a heart attack today when i already have the front suspension cross member all welded in by the instructions that TCI gave me and found out the center line for their hubbs is 2" farther forward than the 4x4 front axle that is in the 58 right now. then after closer measurements the 55 frame is 2 and 1/2" shorter past the front spring hole than the 58 and when my father in law put the 4x4 front axle under the 58 he turned the springs around which moved the axle back 2". So I did good following instructions from the kit im just going to have to modify the front bumper brackets and core support brackets to make the body fit a 55 frame.
