'70 Stepside Gasser

[PA-IndianRider]

Boy, looking around the forum and checking out the pics of projects underway has got me itching to get started on the '70 C-10 stepside I'm starting to build. Being my wife & I will be building/using the truck for cruising and some "drag racing" we have decided to build it with the "classic" gasser look.
Along with a nasty "383 stroker" we are going to use a fiberglass "tilt front end" - chop the roof 4-5" and give it the GASSER "stance" of the 60's.
Currently the truck has been lowered 4 in the front & 5 in the rear. I have thought about going "wild" and using a "straight front" axle but have been thinking that it would NOT be very "driver-friendly" on the street.
Has anyone else done a project like this or can suggest a better way to get the high up in the front "stance" I'm looking for ..... without using a straight front axle? Thanks for any suggestions/advice.
John - Pittsburgh, PA
