I have a friend that's helping me with decisions, but do like to hear the consensus from ya'll too.
ONe thing I have to convey, is that the fenders can't be removed due to the PO, or the body shop that did the paint/body work, kind of made the fenders semi-permanent by using filler between the fenders and whatever else. This morning I'll be removing the inner fenders, so there should be ample room for "whatever" I put in.
Leaning towards the MII, but I've been reading, surfing the net ,and seems very few people like the MII!? All I've read is, "I don't like it?" kind of responses. However, I do read a lot of good things about the front clip swaps. I think I could do it ok, but can it be done with the body and front fenders on? Otherwise the Mustang II would probably be my best choice or just stick with stock front end(new of course).
I'll be back, going to pull out the front inner fenders.
dne' ; )

Denee007 - Nice blank canvas! The fenders welded to the body shouldn't cause troubles. If you're in the market for a front suspension that's ton's better than stock. Take a look at Hotchkis from suspension. It's a night and day difference compared to stock front suspension and it's easy to install.










Here's John Hotchkis briefly talking about the C-10 front suspension.

that may be ok for a c-10 but the 47-59 trucks suspensions are completely different
