Two months after I started: The truck is finally off of the jackstands! A small victory, I know...but still, it feels like progress.

The freebie springs I got are WAY to soft for me to use. Right now the lower control arms parallel to the ground - which is how they are supposed to sit with the engine and everything else in place. I'll have to order some new springs.
The 15" camaro rims I have rub the lower control arms - a problem probably caused by a combo of too much wheel backspacing, too small a rim, and/or the 2" drop spindles. I may go with a standard height spindle to solve the problem so I can at least drive the truck with the wheels I have on there (until I can afford new wheels).
Other than that everything went together pretty easily. Unfortunately, nobody in the state stocks lower ball joints and shocks for a Mustang II so I'll have to wait for those to arrive from the mainland.
Here's more pics:
