This build mainly consisted of used parts factory parts and new components also such as the drop spindles from mcgaugheys a craigslist find! The front springs also from craigslist are from bell tech not really sure what the drop is on them maybe a 3inch drop??? Balljoints, idlers inners & outers and pitman arms were all new from moog. Have any other ?'s just me know.

I too am considering doing an "extra parts" project. I have a complete short leaf spring frame to pilfer. Im good on the front, figured Id just fab some upper rail shock mounts. On the rear did you use the 2wd spring hangers?

Going to be taking a closer look at the frames this weekend and see what options I might have.

thx again, D'
