I need some opinions on suspensions.

OKGMC4 your build is great, I really like the way you built all your own mounts for the Vette pieces. The aftermarket wants about ~$1600 I think for the same stuff + corvette pieces.

Trucknut what is most important to you? Ride quality? Cost? amount of welding and fabrication involved? I like the late model full frame swap idea too, you can pick up a rusty 89-95 chevy 4x4 around here for under $1000 with good running gear.

I would be tempted to fix the frame you have if you like the ride. Any pro body shop can do that. Parts should still be available for the volare, buy everything you need to get it in good shape for $200-300 and take it to a competent shop and it's done. This would be waaaay easier and much cheaper than building another frame and swapping the entire truck over. (I'm building a chassis for my 57 while it sits on the original frame, not a weekend job, at least for me )

Just my 2.5 cents
