[mongo338]

ok while my 84 yota is out of commision i have an 83 that i have wanted to modify i allready have a 350 in this one and have an extra set of dana 70 s that i want to put under it i havent decided on chevy or toyota leaf springs but my bigest problem is sterring it would be nice if i could get any input on the springs and the sterring

I guess on the springs it kinda depends on what height you want to achieve. Also the chevy springs are longer than toy's and tend to flex better. I would vote with d70's you use chevy lift springs.

Hydraulic Steering is very cool especially for larger tires. It isn't for use onroad but is great for offroad. I've seen systems priced at $1500. So you might want to shop around for the right setup or create your own.

Sounds like a great buildup. Keep a record of the progress and take pics. I would love to see em.

I agree with snorkle. Hydrolic assisted steering would be a great thing to have. The only problem from what I've heard with it is if you break one of the lines then you have no steering. But like I said, I've only heard this....Anyone have some input?

As for springs look here for my truck with Chevy springs.

I'd vote for Chevies also. Those D70's are huge!! You'd have to beef up the Yota springs for sure. You'll end up w/better flex & ride going Chevy. Later...
