    5-lug on the front and 4-lug on the rear will not be a problem. Carry a can of Fix-A-Flat with you, you won't have room to carry a spare anyway.

    A full R&P unit tied to the straight axle (the only way you can use R&P with a straight axle and prevent bump steer) will look hinkey and cause the old guys to laugh at you. Uni-Steer makes a unit with only one tie rod that works great with early straight axle cars.

    A guy with a sharp mind could modify a conventional R&P into a single tie-rod, cross-steer unit to do the same thing.

    The most popular tire size in the immediate future will likely be 16".
