Getting the front suspension finished up. The 1979 1/2 ton front suspension donor was a great addition with the 2" drop spindles, disc brakes and drop shocks. The motor will be getting set in within the next two weeks. Once the weight is there we will know which springs to go with that gives us the stance we are looking for.
I have the Three row aluminum radiator with shroud and 16" Spal fan ordered.
I have decided to replace the transmission too so the complete drivetrain is new. I'm torn between sticking with the TH350 or going with a 700R4. A lot of street rod forums are saying that 3:42 and 3:73 are great setups for the 700R4 transmission. I just installed 3:42 gears. My driveshaft will have to be shortened 3" but the yoke is the same. It is a column shift for a three speed so that is another issue there.
