Any suspension mods? I'm still trying to decide what to do with my REPU when I begin the restoration. I would be very happy if I can get it to handle like my widebody 1st gen. Been debating on changing the front and rear suspension entirely. I have enough parts laying around that I could do an entire 1st gen or S4 TII suspension swap.
I won't know if it's feasible until I pull the box and cab off the frame, but I think the irs swap might be possible since the REPU has boxed frame rails. Changing the front from the double wishbone to MacPhearson struts may be more problematic.
I like the 2nd pic, you almost have the front wheel off the ground. Truck looks good, has that ratrod sleeper look.

Thanks guys,
No suspension mods yet, but I am looking into it.. I have an itch to put the drive train out of the 1st gen in it, but I love the way it handles now and don't want to go over board on the power with it.
Here is one of the runs before I dialed in more negative camber and put more gas in the tank (fuel starvation)

Running an auto in 1st only? Wow, that must be great for auto-x once you get rolling.
Does it still have the 4.7's like the 4sp manual repus?
My friend Auto-x's his repu because he can't turn his head in his FD w/ a helmet on, and he does fairly impressive for a 70s truck w/ a open diff and the cheapest truck tires he could find.
Man do I love REPUs

Unfortunately it has a 4.11 rear end, but that will be good once I turbo it.
Thanks for the complements.
