Man with all that other stuff you have listed you need to sell me that truck ! LOL !
That's really fine "assortment" of chevy's & f**ds ! What about pic's ? You gotta know we love pictures ?

the only real complaint i had on mine was the steering box ratio from the camaro was to fast, easy fix was to put a late 70's nova box in, and beware some clips have a front steer set up and some had the rear steer, somkething to think about when figuring up your steering column angles to the box.

The 79 Camaro subframe will work nice, depending how low you want it you can put the frame up in the truck a little ways to get it real low.
On the rear I used a No Limit engineering 4 link Fatbar suspension. The truck rides and drives super. If you shoot me a e-mail I will send you some photos of the process and the finished truck. yenkopt69@live.com
i've done many early chevy trucks using the camaro clip . it is the ideal way to go unless you want to use c-4 stuff. i don't care for a mll under a truck. just does not ride and drive the same to me. this is the last one i did. the complete build is on this site. good luck with it.
camaro works good but i put a mid 80's monty carlo in one and it rode and steared better but it took alittle more work to put in.
