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.

IFS KIT COMPARISON

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.
