    So, the front suspension is not going to work. I kind of knew that a fe weeks after buying the parts. I may be able to sell the front suspension for another hot rod project that does not need such a wide frame. I guess my only option would be to purchase a 3" drop axle, then install disc brake...

    Now to the fun stuff. I am about to weld in the upper rear shock mounts ( using stock Jaguar struts and springs). I am not real sure how,much the truck will squat once I put it on the ground. I guess trial and error huh?
