Happpy birthday Danny!
The axle looks like original Chevy, but the leaf springs have been changed/modified. Looks like a single leaf is all I can see without a higher...

Original solid front axle because it's a fender less rod.
Jag IRS If you hard-mount the centre of the diff to the chassis, then align the forward pivot point with the lower control arm fulcrum line,...
Sunday drive on a Monday.

I can't see the pics either, maybe you need to change the permission settings in your media album. [ATTACH]
Kiwi, I think he means the interior fold down visors.
So, I've been out on quite a few test drives, and racked up a fair amount of miles on some of the quieter country roads. Sorted out a few teething...
Sorry for your loss Larry.
I have a set of 305 Vortec heads and a matching 7116 Edelbrock Performer RPM manifold. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Steve Hamb iPhone App.

Yup, I can't say for a fact, but I'm not sure if they ever used the knee action front end in the models produced here (locally in South Africa)....
Update: Fitted the brake lines. Messed up a some of the measurements and had to redo a couple, but now brakes are working like a bomb. No leaks!...
Hi Jim, nice build. I just came across it now. Subbed. Personally I prefer the guides because of the built in turn signals. The height looks spot...
Welcome to the Hamb!
The front spindle shafts are interchangeable. Front pads: You have to remove the 2 pad retaining pins in order to remove the pads. As Luckystiff...
