Thanks everyone for all of the advice. I have checked ratios, tire size and such. The cost of rebuilding a 235 and updating rearend gears are way more than the $400.00 I gave for a pegged camaro with the EFI 305 v8 and 700R4 and rearend with low miles on it. I think I am going to go with stock height if I go with leaf springs. The truck will not be cut up other than adding a v8 and trans. crossmembers. I want it to look stock but have updated running gear. I have been looking at IFS but they seem very expensive and some reports of failures with these heavier trucks. Hopefully this weekend I will have the cab off. Thanks again, Wayne
