Thanks techinspector1 for this great detail on how to set up the suspension. I still have the drive train and suspension in the donor car so I can take these measurements and lock the control arm anges before I remove them.
Thanks Dave for your help as well.

Heres an update on some added info I found.
A gentleman named Ralph Sauceda described how he and friends have done this swap on three early 50's Chevy trucks.

Looks pretty close to what I planned except I would like to keep more of the original frame intact for radiator and fender support.
