He is still running the straight axle, but wishes he had gone the ifs route. He did redo the springs to lower it. On the rear he's currently running the differential from a 55-58, iirc. Has 3.73 gears. In his garage is a 9" Ford that we've been building.
Tranny is a Saginaw 4 speed, which has held up to some burnouts that went well into third gear. Surprised me, a lot of guys say that box won't hold up.
