Hey there everybody. I have a question about 4 link suspension kits. I have a 59 apache 3/4 ton and would like to upgrade the front straight axle suspension with something a little fresh. I want to know if it's possible/advisable to put a conversion kit for a 4 link rear end up front too. I don't know how to improve the drivability up front except to upgrade to indipendant front suspension but i don't want to lower and i'd like to keep a somewhat nostalgic look. let me know and comment please.

Check out some of the old roadster setups.  A lot were converted from hairpin style, to 4-link.

Speedway Motors carries all that old roadster stuff.

Definitely doable.  4x4 trucks do it all of the time.  Like PackRat said, check out Speedway Motors, or you can fab your own.
