Thanks for the quick replies... I just ordered Jim's book from Amazon. Thomas, thanks for the number, I'll give you a call. I went through your pictures on Yahoo, and I've done a lot of the same things. I sandblasted my own subframe and rebuilt the A-frames and converted to disc brakes. I've got the subframe back in place and I'm removing the rear end this weekend to put go through and also install new leaf springs.
This website is a goldmine if you know where to go. Thanks for the help and I'll post the results as I go.
