Dave,
Your truck looks great. You did a nice job on the ol' girl. Thanks for the response. Yes, I am going with front disc brakes and have been waiting until I know what bolt pattern rearend I pick up. The yards here vary a lot in pricing from $700 for a rearend to $100 at a mom and pop yard. Unfortunately they do not have a rearend that fits right now but a 60" Chevelle rearend may become available. I am looking for a 3.08 up to a 3.43 ratio to go behind a 283/th350 set up. My truck is all torn down and I am getting a little antsy to start putting her back together again. I will keep looking. Thanks, Wayne
