So I finally got my new LUV, and I was wondering what you guys recommend for the chassis. Right now it's all stock and the frames a little rusty, but I was wanting it back halved with a four link setup by a local shop. The problem is I don't know what I should do about the front, I really don't like the stock LUV disc brakes, and my suspension isn't in the best shape. Is there another front end I can swap into the LUV chassis, like a mustang II maybe? Or should I go look for another frame, like an s10 and have it back halved and mount the LUV body onto it?
Just looking for suggestions or comments, I appreciate it!

You can do anything and everything to the front end that you want. We have members that have been in the 9's with the stock set up, many just add coil overs and remove the torsion bars.
