Grant,
Now the 67-72 truck sounds like a good alternative. I will follow up with research on this.
The car ride is not my goal. I want to be able to drive the freeways with disk brakes under me. I am finding that the choices for the eight luggers are well hidden when it comes to modifying the existing hubs and axles for disk brakes and higher gears. My preference is not to cut my frame and to use my front and rear axles, but I want to drive it 65-70 mph.
Thanks, Grant for some good info.
