I used all 1979 suspension components for my truck as well. I got a 1/2 ton Suburban and swapped out the entire front suspension and the 12-bolt rear end.
Did he (ChrisDollins) mean poly bushings or the pre-73 rubber lined steel sleeves that HD trucks got through 91? Either choice would have less deflection vs 73-87 C10 rubber bushings. Both will transmit more road vibration too.

Which is better depends on what you seek (performance or cushy ride quality).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
