Trying to identify a front suspension

We’re doing some work on a 53 ford truck that has been retrofitted onto Chrysler suspension. We believe the rear is the Chrysler 7.25. And the front is torsion bar just trying to figure out exactly what it came off of.

Aspen/Volare sub frames with the torsion bar across the front have been a popular way to get all the modern conveniences in a relatively simple swap. The pics look like what you've got. Pinto/Mustang II front ends are also common for street rods.

Thank you! Much appreciated.
Aspen/Volare/Diplomat and others (basically the F/J/M body cars) of the 1976-1989 time frame used these components. Like mentioned it was a common swap.
