The front end is worn out. I want to update it. I earlier found that you could update the brakes with a kit and a donor 80's GM car. I acquired an 81 malibu parts car. Can any of the power steering, suspension etc components be switched over to the original frame as well ?
I dont want to clip the frame.
I also have an S-10 rolling chassis on hand, but don't know if I'm ready to tackle that big a project.
That is regarding the front end, I was thinking of an S-10 or blazer 4WD rear end for the width and brakes.
Any suggestions ?
I'm adept at finding parts vehicles
Thanks
Royzell
