    Hi all,
    I recently took the plunge and bought a 33 ford pu with all the steel.
    It has a Corvair front end that is rusted and needs to come out and a chrysler rear end that I'd like to lower. Any input on where to start? The Mustang II type suspension would be ok, but I don't really want to modify the fenders or go fenderless. Is there a way to use the rear end without using the leaf springs?
    That's it for now,
    MARK

    Do not use MII on that truck, please. Straight axle with at leats a 4" drop, Z your frame out back and install coilovers with a panhard rod. Personally, I like the look of your father's moustache with a banjo rear, but if you are going to keep the mopar rear be sure to keep fenders on it. IMHO.
