No one down there makes the cheby stuff? If you can hook up with some buddys and split the tooling cost, the chevy stuff is really the way to go.

If I ever get some more tube, I plan on selling some. You'd still need to ream the knuckles and pitman arm though.

well theres a dude that will make me custom steering... for how much i dont know yet plus he's so buisy that i really dont wan to wait another 2-3 week's for it. i am eventually going to go the chevy route i just saw a chevy d44 with flat tops calpers spindles and all. just have to save up the coin to get it all. have'nt talked to the guy that runs th yard yet cause i dont wan to give him any reason to look into what it's worth. i plan on just showing up with money and making a deal... any how i just need to get my rig on the road i am down to 1 vehicle dew to the sale of the fullsize so it's getting harder and harder to share the wifes car... hopeing to pick up another truck soon but we shall see.

I don't know anything about the duff steering.

For the chevy steering, you can use your stock knuckles and ream them to fit the chevy steering parts. I currently have chev flat tops, but I'm probably going to put the drum knuckles back on because the steering arm is higher. I don't have any plans on running the high steer arms on the flat tops.
