Re: Chassis/Suspension Mods on a Budget

Buy a donor 73-88 truck, grab the parts you want, sell the engine trans any good parts, scrap the rest. I made money on my swap doing it this way.
Doing a 5 lug conversion cost a lot less when you buy a vehicle that already has wheels and tires.
I paid $600 for a running driving 1976 f44 373 12 bolt posi truck with a title.
Read the "make it handle" thread in the suspension forum!
