sorry for being really vague, i took a look back at the post and realized it wasn't too helpful. let me try again.
the truck in question is a 1968 shortbed, fleetside, it has the factory coils all the way around.(the rest of it is described in my signature) as far as what i want to accomplish, i want to be able to have a good time on all the windy roads that are in my area, the most demanding thing that i have been "kicking around" is maybe a little autocross 2, for funs sake. and as you put it 68lss1, a once a month trip out to the drag strip. monster slicks were not in my plans, 12'' wide or less. the money factor isn't too much of an issue, i have no problem with spending 2500 on suspension by itself, or more if need be. however i do have a little bit of a hard time justifying one of those prefab hot rod independent front deals that go for more than 2000 by themselfes. expirence( a few motors, of several different varities; a th-400 rebuild etc.) no real fabrication expirience(i made a driveshaft loop....thats about it) but i can get a hand from a couple of different buddies of mine that have far more expirience in the fabrication world... as far as tools and stuff like that goes, i have all the regular tools in a roll away a small mig welder, i can get a plasma cutter, and a bigger welder, i do not have a spring compressor, but i was planning on getting one, when i got to this part of the project.
let me know if i forgot anything
