questions on swap stuff??

[scum1]

the po of my truck swapped the front end of my truck with a 73-87, well everything but the x member. so i have a couple questions..

1. when im looking for shocks and coils, will 63-72 kits work on this. i know spindles will have to be from donor year, but what about shock and coil kits from cpp.

2. when i put the truck in reverse and back up the tires bow and it makes an unusual shift in the front end. the po said it could be because the front x member was not swapped but i have no personal opinions on this..if i have to take some pics or video let me know..

thanks in advance
