as for the camaro year that would be 70-81, firebird is the same as well. I did the weld in cross member with tubular a-arms. Check out my "project 2 wheel drive" on down the page if you would like to see pix.

Another alternative is the 73-87 half ton IFS. It's a simple bolt on affair & should be an easy & inexpensive swap for you truck. I used one on my AD but had to have it narrowed to fit my frame. If I'm not mistaking your's being wider, it should bolt right up.
