I keep coming back to this question as I rebuild my truck in my "mental" garage. The dream is 400 hp. The truck is a '69 with front drums. On a previous project (a '68 Chevy) I was to the point that I had replaced the entire front crossmember and suspension with parts from an '84. The whole works fit perfectly and I only had to drill 2 new holes in the frame. With the present project I'm wondering if I should go that way, or should I just hunt for some spindles from a '71 or '72, which are kind of hard to find?
The other question is about power steering. The truck currently has a very good L6 engine that will have to stay put until later in the project. I'd like to go with power steering, but finding power steering brackets for this engine is tough. Any thoughts? ![]()
