Sorry Mark. You must have been in the garage again (it's Mark's thread).

Thanks for the info guys.

I do plan on ditching all of the factory front suspension for later equipment or a porterbuilt member. I know it will fit, I have just debating the rear and the 63-66 seem more mod friendly with bolt-ons available where-as the 62 would require more straight custom suspension work.

Edit: I will formulate some good questions and dig up my old "build" thread for posting in. Thank you for your patience
