i got a chevy luv frame and a 84 dodge daytona body i got for free.my problem is i don't know if stock leaf springs will work for what i'm gunna do. so far i have a 350 out of my 79 k5 blazer witch will smoke 33x12.50 with 3.40 gears. a power glide trans., and a nine inch rear.i'm trying to only build the rear end once. i plan on a big block and want to run 10s does any one have some sugestions on how to set this up? i want to run 13s i hope at first. but i want it strong enough for 10s. i have 67 inchs from fender to fender in the back i don't think it's as narrow as a luv thanks for any help
