Getting the 53 down

I've played around with our "search" feature and I've found some bits of info here and there. Sorry if this has been asked to many times already. I just helped one of my buddies haul in his Pops 53 today. He's leaning towards using the stock frame and wants to be able to plant the running boards as close to the ground as possible. Is there one particular brand of MustangII / crossmember kit that works/performs better then others. I've installed a Fatman Ultralow kit on a car before and was pleased with it, but I've never done one on a pickup. What rearends make good donors to convert it to an open driveline? It seems like I've read that 2nd generation Camaros work well? How much of a C notch are you guys running? Are we looking at a mild notch or are we gonna have to get a bit more serious? If so are you guys buying or building your notch? Also, what seems to be the best setup for the rear suspension? I used a Triangulated 4 link on the same car that I installed the Fatman frontend on and it seems to be working out quite well. Is a four link the way to go? Prefered source for these parts?

I had thought about posting these questions in the "Suspension" forum but considering I was wanting info about these years specifically....I thought I would give this section a shot.

Here's our starting point.
