Sorry if this is covered somewhere. I have searched. Is there a supplier or manufacturer of a complete IRS conversion kit? I am talking about a kit with everything...stub axles, cv's, plates and possibly even trans etc? Would like the convenience to purchase everything from one outfit.

If not, any recommendations on who could put a complete "kit" together for me?

I know vintage v dubs sells a kit but after reading their feedback i will probably stay away.

Thanks

I can't recommend it, one way or the other... just noticed it when I searched "irs" in the '49-'67 bus parts classifieds...

Wolfgang International in Redding CA sells an IRS kit that I have used a few times for lowered buses.

Their kit is nice and they are a reputable business that has been around for a long time.

I have a kit from Vintage VDub, yes they had some problems in the past and I was leary or ordering, but I did...I got everything in a very timely fashion, I havent installed it yet due to health issues but it all looks good, I still have to get the correct drums for the conversion, and figure out what year those need to be..but all looks good so far.
