WOW thanks for all that CG - good info and valid points - When I originally bought the kit for the 48 dodge I originally had stock height spindles on the order, and then opted to go with dropped - but I will check if I decide to go back. I dont recall if theyre forged or cast. Ive been thinking going back to a straight axle for the 48 might be better anyway, so stealing these parts for immediate use isnt too terrible.

I need to pull all of the parts out of the boxes as its been some time since i had hands on them and see exactly what all is - I have no idea what GM body type theyre all based on or what size rotors they are from memory - but they are 5 bolt mopar/ford pattern for certain - so I will likely not use the rotors anyway - so I suppose I could buy aftermarket rotors to fit the mII drop spindles with a 6 lug pattern to match my existing rear end and wheel set, right?

Basically if I go this route I intend to use the following Fatman stuff from what I have in boxes:
tubular a-arms
coilovers
mII drop spindles
calipers
manual rack/pinion

What I would need to buy (I think):
New Fatman bolt on Crossmember for 64up GM
aftermarket rotors with 6 lug adaptable to above spindles
Dual Master Cylinder and parts to split brake system
Steering Shaft and Linkage

(Im still waiting on Fatman to respond to an email I sent them late today to confirm interchangeability) I also still dont see how I would bolt upper a-arms...

The real question comes down to is this worth doing? Meaning does what I would need to purchase still come in cheaper (and hopefully by a longshot) to drop the front than going the typical route I see on here with PB Dropmember and sourcing all of the other stuff? No clue, thats what I need to rersearch - but i have to think that even if not as sweet as the PB set up, it has to be a 100x better than stock 64 suspension, steering and braking, right?


All that said, still looking for everyones opnions and input - thanks guys!
