68 F100 build, need solid advise
I tore my 68 F100 down after attending the F100 nationals this year. I entered my truck in the show just for the fun of it. After everyone turning there nose up I decided it was time for a rebuild. I already have a Crown Victoria front end, 460 big block, and a TCI C6 transmission.
Originally I was just gonna swap to a rust free cab and new DOVE head and Comp Cam but after stripping the truck down to the frame, I did some research on autocross ing and Pro Touring. I already have 17X10.5 and 17X9 wheels and 315 and 275 tires. What I really want to do now is improve the rear suspension. I've researched till my head is spinning. I've got a basket full of parts in Ron Suttons Website. I really want to build a killer 3 link and watts link rear suspension. I've got room for roughly 36 inch trailing arms and 3rd link with some fab work.
Are 36 inch arms overkill or what?
This is a street truck driven on special occasions and events. I want seriously good handling and street manner. Help me decide which way to go.
