Back to the future truck sfa or ifs?
Hey guys so there's a few old threads about the back to the future truck and people are saying they used an ifs pickup in BTTF 3 for some shots.
I've been watching all the movies and can't see any IFS pickup indications. Anyone have any proof or can someone tell me which shot they think has an IFS front end?
Here's my truck

Pretty sure Dannys truck was a 85 and a solid axle.

if you plan on driving the truck for more everyday use. keep it IFS. if you do a SAS. it will be kinda hard to keep it low since the frames are different compared to SFA trucks. im sure once you do a SAS, you can build or use a leaf set up for a low build but i cant imaging it riding good at all with no travel lol. even looking at the picture above, you can see the front spring is negatively arched

It would never look the same if it was SAS unless the front hanger was frenched into the frame, and then there would not be enough room for typical crossover steering which would be a downgrade to go to push-pull steering, I would keep it IFS as well.

I don't remember seeing an IFS front end. But I could almost swear that in one of the shots, I think it's when he first sees the truck in the garage, there's a "Turbo" badge/emblem on/in it somewhere. Which would make it an 86-87, and IFS. I don't own the movie though...so I can't prove/disprove that at this point. I could be mistaken too...I suppose.
But after watching every scene in bluray I've yet to see any ifs components.
