hmmm 44 reads and no replies. I used an `85 Toyota 4Runner front axle with stock Toy spring perches. The front springs were from a Wrangler. You could use Toy rear springs. The jeep springs were stiff. They mounted just before or right at where the frame goes parallel.

My newer bumper is made from 3/16 thick 2x4.

Sorry to hear about the bad piston. Time for a 350ci and an auto tran :D

well i think right now i am going to still rebuild the motor for the rocky and see how i like it! Dont have to much hills or anything that it needs alot of power like down ur way probaly so it may work fine! My brother is getting me some 1/4 to 1/2 plate to weld onto the front along with other scrap peices for my front bumper will get a pic for u before and after hopefully in the next couple weeks!
