Bit confused by the question as I thought these were live axle chassis.

That aside you will need to locate the Sierra diff so the pinion is central, the diff is however wider on the crownwheel side and the shafts are handed.

Then make up your wishbone locations, I made all mine to suit, as a scratch build, if you are buying in then you will need to find out the measurements from the bone supplier.

i think in the s.t. the diff is offset so the driveshafts end up the same length
