Small update,
Waiting on the calipers and brackets to show up. Ordered then about 2 weeks ago.
And im looking for 2 spare tires off a newer GTO, so i have wheels to put on the front to roll the truck around intill the bonspeeds get here.
The rear is going to be getting a Torque Arm set up, I need to start cleaning up the 4 gen rear end i have here.

Sweet. Didn't know you were working on this thing...
In post #2, you mentioned "SPC" - what is that?
Are you looking at the tall lower ball joints?
And it sounds like you and I have similar "goals" for our trucks. I'm looking forward to following in your footsteps!!

My goals are kinda small, if i had hugh goals i would build a complete chassis.

Small update
I got the GTO Spare,
Mocked up the front brackets with the spindles and calipers, and they fit great, and look sweet.
I thought about going to the C6 Z51 brakes, but i cant fit the GTO spare over them.
I havent really got my time to work on the project, i have been busy working on customers cars and projects.
I think i have finally decided on a rear suspension set up. I have a spare frame that im going to mock it up and see if its really what i want.

Looks good. I am going to be doing the same brake conversion on my 1987 Monte Carlo SS. Where did you take the rotors to ge tturned down to hub size? I have the rotors ready to go, just am not really sure where the best place would be to get it done.

Well i guess its time to do a update.
I got everything for the front suspension painted.
Tall balljoint pressed in.
My brother asked me if he could do something to my rotors, i said sure why not. Well he dimpled them. He did a good job, they look so much better then a simple rotor.
And i have picked the wheels and I will just say that I went with a Jason Rushforth wheel.
