The spindles are 80's Impala with the 5 on 5 pattern. The control arms, gear box, and steering linkage are 80's Monte Carlo, S10 pickup, etc. I increased the hub to hub width to 60" and fabbed a fixture to build the crossmember out of 3/16" plate. I had to relocate the upper control arms to correct bump steer, etc created with track width increase. This got pretty complex and time consuming, but was something I always wanted to do.
