Dave, I was thinking about you when I wrote this (the mention of an earlier project), and crossed wires with the original poster.

I'd go with the original springs and an 8 3/4 or a later model rear (donor car/truck) unless you plan on some HP. Then I'd consider using some later springs (60s-up short front section), but that means new mounts.
If you are thinking about BIG HP, go with SS springs or a ladder bar/4 link.
