I am working on my Model A frame, and while I was going to just run the straight axle, this Triumph suspension basically fell in my lap. It is narrow, and I think it would look good as is. Mounting it is the question. The A frame is about 8 inches wider than the rails of the suspension. The suspension looks like it would just unbolt from the rails. If I widen it around the A frame, I would require a longer steering rack.

Will upload some pictures in a little bit... Can't seem to right now.
 
A Ford axle will trump any oddball foreign suspension IMO. Not to mention there is serviceability to consider. Stick with Henry steel on a hot rod and you can't go wrong...
 
I have the s-10 sub frame on mine because it was simple and it was already there ,,all in one ready to go ... but I dont like it , it will get changed to the single spring strait axle .. but if you like the way it looks go for it ...
