I'm building my 1956 3100 with the straight axle...I didn't want to cut the frame. Everything I have done is bolt on and can be undone.

I installed the sway bar from a 1956 Suburban/Panel truck.
I installed disc brakes with 5-lug rotors (don't remember who I bought the kit from).
I installed the power rack and pinion kit from POL. Their kit has the rack bolted to the axle.

All of this might be more expensive than a Camaro clip, but it's the way I wanted to go. I have never been a fan of a clipped frame. I always worried about how well it was done and if it would fall apart due to poor design or workmenship.
