Could not remember if I ever dropped a pic. This is a mix of goodies. 54 cab, 1972 350/350, Tremec 5 speed, C4 corvette suspension front and rear, Perfectly balanced front to rear with my fat ass in it.

Nice looking truck!

Did you use the parts from Flat Out Engineering to install the IFS & IRS? I ask because I am considering doing the same. I have a sweet deal lined up on an '87 IFS and am wondering how easy/hard their parts were to use?

Mine will be on a TF truck but I assume the ease of use will be the same.

Everything was taken off the donor. I mean everything. Then it was sort of grafted to the original truck frame. It worked better than I thought it could.I am not familiar with the flatout package. But, would say it can only help in setting things up where my was adjusted, if you will as it was put together.

I know flat out has the kit for the front but do they have a kit to mount the C4 IRS?

Yes, I was looking hard at both kits when I was thinking about going with Corvette C 4 on both ends.
