that's what i had said earlier....the unwelded front subframe this guy was selling was built with 2x3 mild steel. you could substitute your own k frame (if you could call it that) to the desire width.

Tom...this pic you have here shows that is is a complete bolt on. A little pricey but would be easy enough to duplicate.

Yeah, they're expensive, but ... a little too wide, too. Unless you flared the fenders. That would look cool.
On a Monza, just use the fiberglass IMSA front end, perhaps?

You can get the jegster front end in 53" and 54-1/2" but they're expensive too. Still have to make frame rails.

Years ago when Vegas was a rage.....saw a magazine article where someone took a 70's Camaro or Firebird and adapted the front subframe into a Vega. This allowed the use of off the shelf headers, oil pan etc. for that particular subframe.

Here's a 'generic' one available in track widths from 49-1/2" - 58-1/2".

I'm running a leaf spring setup with ladder bars on my Monza with no problems. This is the only rear suspension pic I have . Although not a good one. My car is tubbed and backhalfed so the frame is very stiff. The car really hooks up.
