galaxy, I love the stance of the truck. I hope my '48' will sit like that one day. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for all the nice words guys. Project 51 my suspension setup in the front is a M II clip with drop spendles and coilovers from Jim Weimer's Hot Rod Garage. I researched every option I could find. All the different M II and various other clips, drop axles and I went with this one because it was priced decent compared to the others with the options it gave me. He is also very knowledgeable on every question I had and the cross member was built specifically for my truck. They also made sure it could handle the weight of my big block, etc. It was a really easy install actually. On the rear I flipped the rear end over the leafs and removed all but 4 or 5 leafs. I also C-Notched the frame for suspension clearance. I have not gotten to drive it just yet, but I think it should drive nice.
