Re: Four-link questions

I would not put a sway/anti-roll bar on the back without putting one on the front first. And unless you are going to do other stuff like wider tires AND drive it hard I would not expect to get much benefit from a front say bar on a beam axle.

If sticking with straight axle in front, I'd focus on brakes in this order of upgrades, depending how far you want to go with it
Dual master
good tires
Self adjusting drum
power booster
front disk (with new master and proportioning valve)
upgraded rear drum to 70's c10 spec
rear disk (largely just a cosmetic upgrade IMO)


power steering might increase driving pleasure depending where you drive, but it is not that easy an upgrade on the straight axle. Bolt in IFS might be the way forward if you think you want both disk and power steering.
Then you have a decent front suspension and can think more about rear sway bars or 4 links.
