As far as rearends go, Mid-70's Nova, Camaro, Firebird and some olds products will be the correct width, but you need to weld on new spring perches. Also, GM S-10 4X4 Blazer/truck rear will be close too.
As far as finished height, I have seen M II that are a couple of inches lower to right down in the weeds.... | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 305 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 305 | help i dont want a dirt diger but would like to retain orginal ride highth

I have a stock 46, so I can't tell you from experience about a MII.
However, I've never seen any type of suspension change that maintained the stock ride height on an Art Deco truck.
I'm trying to imagine something (other than stock) that could be done. Frankly, every possibility I'm coming up with, would probably look ridiculous with the truck sitting that high above the front non-stock suspension.
I'm curious to see if someone else has ever seen anything that worked well and kept the truck that high. Good luck in your quest. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 305 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 305 |
