    fully bagging anything under two grand is going to be one hell of a feat..i'll tell you that much...

    You can buy a bag kit for $800 - $1200 that will work well. Comp, bags, gauges, tank etc

    suicide doors:

    2link kit for around $200 - 300
    Panhard bar
    Bag brackets

    You can mount the trailing arms off the original leaf spring pocket, weld the leaf spring plate to the trailing arm, it acts like a 2 or 3 inch lowering block.
    Get a panhard bar as long as you can that will fit, mount the bag brackets etc.

    I recently saw a 63 Galaxie that had this set up, he did it for less than $1500, it was a really simple logical set up, the front is the front and thats the same as any A arm deal.

    I know i have missed alot, but im really tired and this is the general idea
