The oldest Hi-Techs used a Mustang II front suspension. They would take the rack apart and shorten it internally then it worked fine. If you're creative enough, you can make it look pretty original. I think the problem with using the stock geometry is that the lower inner mount winds up being somewhere inside the 4" tube.
I remember some shop was building original looking frames that used the Factory Five style upper arm and also the 5.0 Mustang spindle. Seemed to work fine. Using the 5.0 spindle was nice because you can make the upper balljoint mount pretty much anyway you want it.
