Also, sorry for the hijack, where is this suspension tech article?

Also, did you mean '78-'88 Monte Carlo or '70-'72 or '73-'77?

Actually was just there for the shuttle launch. Ate at Kay's and all that good stuff. I didn't see a whole lot of classic trucks. Don't be afraid to embarrass yourself we'll go easy on you for that now being a G body freak you may need some counseling or therapy. Rich

Go to the top were it says Articles/Specs then steering and suspension from there. There are 11 parts to the article each part covers an alternative.

Thanks, I have a '79 Gran Prix in my yard that I use for parts and to practice welding on. Maybe this will be a candidate if I decide to put a GM engine it. I will probably just keep it all Ford and original, though...

It is no problem at all to put the GM clip and a Ford motor. That is what I got and I have less than an hour in the motor mounts. You get to choose.

Hmmm, that would be really nice as I am very familiar with the GM stuff. Plus, I have a lot of spare parts already. I just need to get my welding skills up to par...

What a fine truck. I also especially like the leg room mod.
