Yes I think that would be even lighter with the alum heads, plus it looks like you have no front bumper and brackets, that alot of added weight, but otherwise you have all the typical sheetmetal of a 55-59 3100 truck yes?

I would think you could go a little lighter - The QA1 guy was basing it off a Gen 2 Camaro at 3780 lbs total with 60% on the front end. So thats about 2200 lbs and he recommended the 350 with SBC and 550 for a BBC to me.

I just haven't installed my bumpers yet.

Any suggestions on rear?

Good morning, I ordered everything from speedway last night.
Upper and lower control arms as well as front and rear QA1 coilovers.
Thanks everyone for your input.🍺👍
I'll post as I go when my parts get here.

I also sent detroit steel wheels yet another email last night.
What an absolute disappointment that outfit is.
I am building hot rods full time here, this was my first purchase from them. I was looking forward to using them of several other projects.
They haven't responded to me, hopefully they can find time to respond👎

How did the install of your new suspension parts go and did the customer service get better in the end? Awesome truck you have...style for days!
