Why Choose Scott’s Hotrods
Cab-Over Van & Truck IFS?  

Finding a true modern Independent Front Suspension for a vintage cab-over van or truck isn’t easy—and adapting a generic Mustang II kit was never good enough for Scott’s Hotrods. Our Cab-Over Van & Truck Independent Front Suspension (IFS) is engineered specifically for unique forward-control applications including the 1961-1967 Ford Econoline, 1964-1970 Dodge A100 and 1964-1970 Chevy Van, giving these classics modern handling, improved ride quality, better braking and the stance they deserve.

Every Scott’s Hotrods Cab-Over IFS is built specifically around the vehicle and features heavy-duty Tubular Upper & Lower A-Arms, a 100% TIG-welded one-piece crossmember, 2″x4″ frame rail sections, modern rack & pinion steering, and Coilover or Airbag suspension. This is NOT a universal Mustang II suspension adapted to fit a van. It’s a true, vehicle-specific Independent Front Suspension engineered from the ground up for the packaging, track width, ride height and performance requirements of vintage cab-over vans and trucks.

Cab-Over Van/Truck IFS

Cab-over vans and trucks present unique suspension and steering challenges because the driver, engine and front suspension are packaged into an extremely compact area. Scott’s Hotrods solves those challenges with a purpose-built Front Steer IFS featuring a specially designed rack & pinion with a forward-facing pinion, allowing the steering system to package correctly within these unique vehicles while providing modern steering response and suspension geometry.

Our Cab-Over IFS utilizes a 100% TIG-welded one-piece crossmember with integrated 2″x4″x3/16″-wall frame rail sections, creating a strong new foundation for the front of the vehicle. Heavy-duty 1-1/8″x.250-wall DOM Tubular Upper & Lower A-Arms, built-in anti-dive, forged steel spindles and modern rack & pinion steering replace the outdated factory suspension with a system engineered for dramatically improved handling, braking, ride quality and control.

Whether you’re building a slammed Ford Econoline, an LS-powered Chevy Van, a HEMI-powered Dodge A100, or a one-of-a-kind cab-over truck, every Scott’s Hotrods Cab-Over IFS can be configured around your drivetrain, desired ride height and intended use. Choose Aldan American Coilovers for responsive modern performance or our SuperSlam Airbag suspension for an ultra-low stance without sacrificing proper suspension geometry.

Modern Performance for Your Vintage Cab-Over

Vintage cab-over vans and trucks have unmistakable style, but their original steering, suspension and braking were designed more than half a century ago. Scott’s Hotrods Cab-Over Van & Truck IFS transforms the way these vehicles drive by replacing the original front suspension with a modern, vehicle-specific system engineered for today’s roads, drivetrains and performance expectations.

From the 1961-1967 Ford Econoline and 1964-1970 Dodge A100 to the 1964-1970 Chevy Van and other custom cab-over applications, Scott’s Hotrods gives builders a purpose-built solution without compromising with a universal suspension kit. Every system is engineered, manufactured, CNC machined and 100% TIG welded in Knoxville, Tennessee with the strength and craftsmanship required for a vehicle that’s meant to be driven. No Mustang II. No universal shortcuts. Just true Independent Front Suspension engineered specifically for your cab-over.

Econoline Van SuperSlam IFS & 4-Bar Install

Scott’s Hotrods Cab-Over Van & Truck Independent Front Suspension (IFS) brings modern handling, steering, braking and ride quality to some of the most unique classic vehicles on the road. Engineered specifically for forward-control applications like the 1961-1967 Ford Econoline, 1964-1970 Dodge A100 and 1964-1970 Chevy Van, our Cab-Over IFS is designed around the tight packaging and unique steering requirements of these vehicles. With a purpose-built Front Steer rack & pinion featuring a forward-facing pinion, heavy-duty Tubular Upper & Lower A-Arms, and your choice of Coilovers or Airbags, you don’t have to compromise with a universal suspension system just because you’re building something different.

Like every Scott’s Hotrods IFS, our Cab-Over Van & Truck kits are NOT Mustang II suspension. Each system is engineered for the specific vehicle and built around your drivetrain, track width, desired ride height and intended use. From the 100% TIG-welded one-piece crossmember and heavy-duty DOM tubing to precision CNC-machined components and 5/8″ or larger Grade 8 hardware, every detail is designed for strength, adjustability and performance. Whether you’re building a comfortable cruiser, slammed air-ride van, high-horsepower street machine or one-of-a-kind show vehicle, Scott’s Hotrods gives your vintage cab-over the modern foundation it deserves—engineered, manufactured and built in Knoxville, Tennessee.
