    Been a while since I've been here so I thought I'd update you on my progress. The '79 half ton IFS is installed and looks like it will work well. I just purchased some drop spindles to add to the drop coils I already installed. The engine is in place and is topped with the TPI from an 87 camaro. I have yet to install the fuel lines and knock sensor. The rear end is from a Chevy II, I just installed the lokar shifter and have been working on the interior as of late. I found someone with a vintage air system for the AD that I was able to pick up at a good deal. It's all coming together well and I hope to be finished by Sept. I have tons of photos posted on my Webshots page so feel free to check it out.

    Not sure of the ratio. More than likely it's 3:08. The length between the plates is 52"
