I realize that it is to late to give you this tip but I am working on a couple of Chevrolet pickups and I thought about the front suspension and wanted it to reflect what was being done in the real world and the front subframe and suspension from the AMT '70-1/2 Camaros were quite popular for the pickups and you can shorten them to fit a little better, and if you put the front clip in place against the truck chassis before cutting it you can get the place where you will need to cut the stock chassis AND the Camaro clip to use the stock pickup radiator cradle and front bumper mounts.

Prices have gone up rapidly here. 5 yrs ago,most of these kits were half the price they are now. I'm willing to hunt around and put up with part started kits. I paid £16 +post for the Nomad. A sealed one would be £40 plus,quite a difference for some minor work although it's a gamble on condition really🤔
