I thought there may be a newer Chevrolet front-end that would bolt into the original bolt hole locations without the welding? Is there anything like that out there??? I would like to remove the old knee action shock system.

Replacement parts are available. (FYI Corvettes from 1953-1962 shared the same front suspension as the 1949-1954 cars. wdoftexas
