Default 1969 454

Hi, new member and i was told maybe to post question here. I am restoring my dads 66 c10 with my son and grandkids and my son has picked up a 69 454 that he's having rebuilt my question is that with that size of motor is there anything we should consider as far as suspension front and rear? Were learning as we go here have the front and bed off and working on cab rust and frame now
thanks for any advice

I think you'll do well with the motor. It's that damn rust. It is like cancer, if you don't get it all out of there.
