Hey looks like you have a good one to start with!

Is that a regular axle with mono leaf springs on the front or a drop axle?

just my opinion but please don't chop it. Some things just look better that way.
I'm doing the big window conversion on my 59. if you get to yours first (which is very likely considering the amount of time i get to work on my truck) please take pics. I'd love to see how you tackle the job.

yes it is a regular axle with mono leaf for now. drop axle would be good idea also. best idea award for the suicide doors.will see.

To each his own is my biggest motto when it comes to their hot rods, but in my opinion, yes on the suicide doors and no to chop.
