Ford guys have been using our cars since the ‘80s to get suspension upgrades on the front of their old trucks.
“ For our F-100s, the Volare or Cordoba torsion bar front suspensions were being installed as fast as they could drop them out of the donor cars. There are a couple of reasons these suspensions got popular. Both are "unitized." All the parts attach to a crossmember that can be dropped out of the donor car and installed into a project vehicle. The front wheel center to center is 60 inches (track width), just a little bit narrower than the stock 61 inches. The frontends were cheap, normal prices for those years were in the $150 range for the complete unit. The Volare is just one of Chrysler/Plymouth's available donors. The Aspens, Diplomats, Lebarons, Town and Countrys, New Yorkers, and the Fifth Avenues all shared the basic same front suspension. Then there are the Cordobas and its clones. “
