Not sure if this is a good answer but if you haven't already bought a mustang II front end, another option is the older (pre 98??) Dakota 2x fronts. Keeps the a100 all mopar
I know you will here different but the Mustang II will be at the max with the weight of that vehicle. I think the Dakota 2x front is a much better choice.

Craig, I think I know what A-100 you are talkin' about! First, consider use. Is this a street only PU with only enough power to get the front light, or is it going to see some air time? Do you want to make it a canyon carver, or just decent? Due to the weight bias, you will want a big sway bar in front. What is available? Are you going with a static drop or are you looking at air bags? Again, what's available for your choices? Coby Gewertz (Church)'s Van Go van has a MII front end installed. He also used a box to change the steering column. Problem is, he didn't do a full build thread anywhere that I know of. He's got a bunch of pics on facebook, but I don't 'do' FB. https://www.facebook.com/coby.gewertz.9http://rodandkulture.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=30Here's a vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPym946yE58KSNPVMT did an air conversion on the stock axle. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=684598&highlight=free+candyHere's the only pic I have of the front suspension on Van Go

Craig, I have a must II frontend, a astro van frontend and a Dakota frame over here, we can get "ALL" the necessary measurements from them and decide what frontend will be the best way to go when we start on the A100 don't get ahead of yourself, we need to map out a good plan and then get to it.....
