Re: fatman xmember and stuff??
The reason they're not optimum for these trucks is because they're under-sized. They can be upgraded to bigger brakes & such, but GM truck stuff (the disc brake years) work fine & is easy to source.
That's why Porterbuilts Dropmember is ideal as it allows you to re-use the OE 71-87 GM disc brakes, 73-87 a-arms, & spindles. If you already have the stuff for another project, it might be worth pursuing.
But, what will you do when 'that project' gets bumped to the 'front burner'?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
