Okay Guys,
The first step in our Heidts IFS install is to tack in the boxing plates. These reinforce the frame rails of our 1955 Ford F100 chassis to make them stronger. They need to carry the load of the suspension cross member and all of the forces from the wheels. They also need to carry the load of the engine.
Heidts does a great job of making this kit complete. The plates are precision cut to fit exactly against the frame rails. We did a little work with the wire wheel to prepare the surfaces for welding and mocked up the plates with clamps. Once we had everything lined up, we tacked the plates to the frame. Check out this video for more details.
