yes jawdy, like waldo said, it sounds worse than it really is.
and i forgot until waldo53 chimmed in, that you will have to flip your tie rod to clear the leafs.
when i bought my axle from sid, i had him install the spindles, and taper the tie rod holes for modern tapered tie rod ends from speedway.
i didnt want to mess with the king pins, fearing that i would have to ream my spindles or come across more headaches, so i ordered a complete unit from him, with spindles and king pins already mounted to the axle. i also had him send me the modified steering arms.
if i wanted to i can send him my old unit and recoup some money, but i think i will keep my original axle for a future rat rod project, hopefully one day.
i got my complete power front disc brake kit from performanceonline.com
http://www.performanceonline.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=16775&cat=1061&page=1great looking kit, and for the most part it turned out fine, but i had a few problems with customer service. if i were to do it again, i would buy their caliper mounts, master cylinder mount and booster, tapered bearing bushing that goes on the spindle, and the rest i would get form a local parts store. all it is is 1970-1978 camaro rotors, calipers.
search my past posts for detailed info on what i ran across with this install. but once it was done, i am very happy with the results of the power brakes.
as for the back, i took out 4 of the original 7 leafs to get it lowered to where it is now, then also installed a lowered shackle kit for about another inch.
in the future i want to maybe flip the reat on top of the leafs, or get lowering leafs, as every time i see waldos truck i drool. LOL. i love the stance of his truck.
well, good luck and fire away with the questions. i try to get here every day or night, and will help any way i can.
