Alright, Next question.

Best 4 link options on these.
Reverse my best option?
50/50?
I'd like to keep the gastank where it is, atleast for awhile.

Id say go with a forward 3 link. Better option than what you listed and you can keep the stock tank,

3 link. 50/50 is crap, reverse is when you have no other option. raise your tank a bit, it will lay when you lay out. I think you can make spacers and put the tank on top of the mounts instead of the bottom to raise it quickly and easily.

I think I'm gonna take everyones advice. I'll either raise the tank or move it to the rear behind the rails. I do plan on draggin it a little so I'm tryin to set it up to avoid explosions haha

..lol.. ya im a big fan of not blowing up..LOL.. i know that on my 73. the tanks arent tht ugly at all.. they are simple rounded enges and would even look good if visible..

YES stay away from the 50/50 who ever came up with that idea and thought it was ok was smokin cigarettes out of a bum crack...

question for slammed 83 , what upper and lowers are those, where did you get them, how much they cost , and what ball joint goes in them? toyota spindles????

im thinkin of convertin over to a 2.3 turbo.. ranger rear end ( or thunderbird what ever.. ) or yota if it will bolt up.. so im just starting to wonder what my options for the front are..

anyone ever try to run spindles backwards???? our tie rods attact to the back of the spindle, yotas attatc to the front...

thought please..

I believe they're custom arms, with the original courier spindles.
Most of the yota parts will move over with modification of course.
You can change the steering setup to the front, we have so much room it shouldn't be too complicated.
