1951 IH L120 Suspension

Hi I am wanting to do away with the stock 1951 IH 120 6 lug suspension and get it to 5 lug what all options do I have for it and getting it lower would be really nice too!

I just did that for my 51' Metro using Chevy hubs and rear end.

Hi I am wanting to do away with the stock 1951 IH 120 6 lug suspension and get it to 5 lug what all options do I have for it and getting it lower would be really nice too!

front axle: 12" 5 lug drums should fit right onto your spindles,

rear axle: only option is full swap out of axle assembly parts not interchangeable from 6 to 5 lug set up, you can use a rear axle from another L or R truck or put a ford rearend in it.

removing or changing leaf spring pack s will lower some, but to slam it you need to buy a drop axle from custom rod supplier.

I took 12 leafs in total. Sitting pretty good now, just have to see once the body is back on.
