In the rear is 92 TopKick 6500, I used the Topkick frame and welded it to the C50 Frame right behind the cab. That gave me the newer style springs and a huge swaybar.
The front is 92 Freightliner, I believe it was from a mid size truck like a Topkick. I took 10 inches out of the middle of the front axle and it fits good within the fenders. Mounting the springs worked out and I can post some pics if you want to see what i did.
I am adding small airbags to each corner just to be able to adjust the height a little and to hopefully improve the ride some. What you see in the photo is about as low as it will be.
