Chassis info

If you are not going to drag race the truck I have a suggestion. Chassis Engineering makes (or used to) a kit to put a 74'-76' AMC Pacer front suspension under the stock chassis. You get independent suspension, disc brakes and power rack and pinion steering. The wheel bolt circle is 5 on 41/2 same as Ford so the 9" in the back will let you match wheels. We use mid 70's GM van and pickup steering columns (no key) with some universal joints and an intermediate shaft for steering. I know a Pacer seems kind of odd but it works great and front end parts are still available. Just a thought. Steve
