    I've been scouring the interwebs looking for examples of how people are bagging tri-fives. Beyond just doing a four link and the shockwave shock style airbags in the rear, I was wondering what others have done, I'm in the middle of doing a 4 link setup on my 57 210 and it's looking like if I want to run a taller tire and still sit low, I might need to notch my frame. Does anyone have any info that could help?

    Thanks guys, I didn't find very much on trifive, and I've worn out everything on Google (which is mostly bolt on kits, or kits using shockwave type setups, like I aforementioned in the OP) I just figured there were more people on here that did custom type stuff. I found plenty of posts on here from people air bagging and notching 49-54 chevys, I didn't think asking the same thing about chevys made a few years later would be such a sore subject, so sorry if I triggered anyone in their safe space.

    Would doing a tri-five be any different than a 49-54?

    I'm not sure, There doesn't seem to be many doing them. Even on the H.A.M.B. I see a lot of people talking about doing their 57 Buicks, Pontiacs, Mercs, Olds, but not many Chevys for some reason.

    C-notching is custom to each application anyway, so I would ASSUME that the procedure would be the same as the other years...no kit available. I would just study the way they did it on earlier ones and adjust for any differences on your year.
