Looks like a decent kit until you get to the Mustang II spindle part.....

They pooped the bed there.

I have been on them to do stuff for those trucks for at least 7 or 8 years. It just makes sense. If you did the home work you can cover 63-87 with essentially the same parts. That's 24 years of model coverage on trucks that are extremely popular. It was simple take the camaro pro-g clip, rework crossmember to bolt in to above trucks, collect the money.

I don't get it.

Yeah, Chevy kind of found a simple design and kept it around for a looong time. Makes it great for the early guys to do inexpensive upgrades! Hope they (Heidts) offers some good upgrade options, which they usually do, on the brakes as well. 11" Rotors are a bit on the wee side for a 4,000 lb truck.

Looks like a street rod thing??? Which is fine. The write-up raises more questions than it answers. I did a couple of quick searches that turn up nothing...

1) Track Width?
2) Maximun wheel width and tire size OR a range?
3) Geometry upgrades?
4) Spring rates?
5) Anyone know how tough a mustang II spindle is?
6) Details on the rack?

Details please. Information is power and on this forum - speed.

11" brakes? Stock are 12" on trucks.

Heidts is usually pretty good at offering 12" and 13" options on most of their kits, I'm sure they will offer the same with this. They also do a pretty good job of offering different spring rates for the coil-overs.
