IFS & body questions for 51 panel

[51panel]

Just got 51 Chevy Panel 1/2 ton. Want to make it my daily driver. Body is in great shape, drive train won't keep up with traffic. Want to install IFS. Looking at TCI IFS. Will look at others just need to know where to go. Also have read here about getting donor 1/2 ton Chevy and use the parts for front end. Would like some input.
One big question is the alignment; if I put in donor front end or aftermarket IFS on, how easy is it to set camber, caster, and toe on initial build? I would take it down to alignment shop to do final setting. I can fabricate up almost anything (have a prototype / fixture CNC machine shop). Link to my shop www.paragonwixom.com .

I also have a donor 1980 El Camino with 305 & auto trans. Plan on using this drive train along with steering column, air cond., and rear end.
Any additional suggestions would be welcome.

One more item. Am thinking about taking body off frame to make it easy to install frontend, engine/trans & rear end. Looked at alot of manuals but can't find all attach points on panel. I know I could figure it out but would go alot quicker if I was pushed in right direction.


This is my 1st time building a ride. Thanks
