Welcome Dave. Lots of info to be found here.
We just built a "Street" rail. It is lots-A-fun. We stuck with the type 1 transaxle (Rancho Pro Street). It was nice not to have a body in the way when it came time to mount stuff like intercooler, etc. Should make for a fun project.

I got the spring plates mounted and it looks like I have 21 1/8 between the insides of the flanges. I assume the vanagon 21 1/2 axles will fit.
Just for anybody that is doing this getting the rubber bushings off the old
spring plates is a Pain in the A.
Take a torch and heat the inside of the housing. Until you can pop the rubber off. Then burn the rest of the old rubber.
my driveway smelled like the start line of Pinks all out.
