Great thread.

What about springs? Do you order them by the year of the crossmember or the lower control arms?

I believe that one should work. I assume it is for a ~'88 and up truck? If so that'll bolt right up to my booster adapter bracket.

I don't know enough about the differences in the different years of springs, but I would think that if you were using say a '73-'87 crossmember, you should be able to use a spring for that year range. It really doesn't seem that there would be much difference in springs between '63-'72 and the '73-'87's

I did the swap from 1979 to 1963 (whole from crossmember including brake boost and power steering) Fit beautifully but the motor mounts on the my 350 were one inch taller than the frame. Put in 1x2 rectangular tubing spacer. easy fix just thought i woulf add that info.
