Dropped front axle?

I know this has probably been beat to death but after doing a quick search I just couldn't come up with what I wanted.

I have this truck that I plan on making a sixies style rod/custom. It is chopped and sectioned and I am going to run a 250 inch six with a five speed with an 8" rear. I have a Camaro clipped frame but plan on changing that. I have another frame coming and planned on running a Mustang II. But the more I think about it, I am leaning towards a dropped axle. This one at Speedway looks interesting...http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/5842...C-PickUps.html



That along with some mono leafs and disc brakes. I really don't like the rack and pinion and want it to be more traditional. I mean, I drive a car with a r&p and IRS (IFS for that matter) I don't need that same thing for my cruiser.

What axles are you guys running?

Brian
