Funny thing about your previous link is right before I checked your replies, I just found that site I swear like 2 minutes before. I think i'll use them as it might be the most bang for the buck.
Why a frame off? Well it's a bit of a story.. my buddy and I were doing a frame off on my 1964 C10 and we were loosing motivation very fast.. At the end of one long weekend working on the truck I think we coined the saying, "If you don't do a frame off you ain't ****". lol We would have loved to have a tree fall on the truck by the time we said that. We were in over our heads and we knew it. (First frame off, first 100% self done almost show quality paint, first big block built by hand, first everything )
So I'm getting ready to do rust repair on this Cadillac and getting it ready for the new rebuilt 365 Cad. motor (built for turbos).. he says "Well you know we ain't **** if we don't do a frame off". So there you go. lol For now we're just doing it in stages, so now it's drivetrain, frame, suspension, and major rust repair. Then drive for a while and save for paint and chrome work.. Later will be the repaint and interior work, chrome work etc.
So that's the long answer.
I guess now I need to read up on air ride vs coil-overs. When I called Art Morrison about a custom frame a few months back, that I'm NOT getting, they said they like to have most of their stuff use coil-overs. They build this stuff for their living so I've been leaning that way for a little bit. If I could figure out a coil-over solution for the front using mostly stock stuff that would be cool.
