i do. but really suggest to get the bolt in kit from aje thats converts your old school away from those dam leaf springs to actual control arms. 400 bucks to center and set pinion angle then weld in the perches. still gotta get your drive shaft done and set up brake lines, and ebrake cables. get the aje kit.

I got mine done for 200 at rear end specialties. As far as the driveshaft goes, I used a 2wd explorer aluminum driveshaft. $40 from the junkyard. You can use your stock brake lines but you have to get an adapter fitting, sold at AutoZone for $5.

Yeah, it fits perfect. I have a 289/c4 combo. I had to buy a 1310-1330(I think) conversion u joint for the side to go in the trans. I'm not sure if it fits a manual trans though..
As for the setup I have, it's with the stock leaf springs, not sure about the 4 link
