We like to run 1500lb front and 380lb rear springs with an 1-7/16" hollow front and a 3/4" solid rear sway bar. Get some control arms that give you around 9* of caster and -1.5* camber, and run shocks with a bunch of rebound. If you were doing a '63-72 the easy button would be our (Hotchkis) TVS kit. We'll be working on square-bodies this year so i might be able to help more in the near future.

This sounds like a good plan. Drop it, up the springs and sway bars and add good wheels and rubber. A 3- or 4-link rear suspension could help too, but is a bit more work. Look forward to seeing what you do with the truck.

Where was this auto show? Was the guys name Dwight?

Is this is the Dwight that is the Corvette genius that lives on Lake Fenton? I am a good friend of Dwight's brother in law. He has some amazing vehicles.
