dropped axle vs MII suspension and more questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It took a long time for me to decide which way to go with this truck but I finally made up my mind to stay with the straight axle setup. I just had the 265 V8 completely rebuilt and am very glad I went this way. I'll soon be taking the truck apart so I can get the motor/transmission mounts welded in and get the frame cleaned up. So far, I'm looking to get a 2" dropped axle and new leaf springs all around. Power steering with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. I'm going to try to post a picture of the freshly rebuilt engine but don't know if the link will work.
