Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I don't think the front axel will be a problem for me. Does your 82 have ball joints on the spindel hubs. My 69 has a kingpin setup. This puts the axel much closer to the ground. The truck was setup with a 300cu inline six cylinder gas motor. It has a ton of clearence all the way around. The clutch and shifter will be tricky. I am thinking of making a adaptor plate for the motor and mounting it to the four speed that is in the truck. What does everyone think about the idea? Am I dreaming?
