Thanks alot for the info. I have never rebuilt anything before, so your information is invaluable. A friend with access to a parts hot line was the one who advised going to a 73' front end. I think mainly for the disc brakes. I need to use a front end that will be the easiest but give me some of the advantages of a newer model. I do have access to an early S-10 long wheel base for a great price. What would this involve. I thought it would be to narrow. As far as the rear end, I just wanted something that sits well but gives me a faster speed. I have owned 2 older trucks before (53' and 51') and both had the stump pull rear end. I also have in my possession a 1967 Mali. 283 engine with a powerglide transmission. Would this be a good match. I hope you realize just how helpful your responses are. Thanks: Wild Hair
