    Im getting a job dropped in my lap. I'm pretty well versed in suspensions and fabrication work. My problem is I haven't ever messed with these particular cars. The owner is wanting a 4 linked rear, mustang two front, bagged front and rear too. He's got a 350/700r4 and wants to swap the rear for an open drive.

    He's willing to spend the money for pre-fabricated suspension pieces, to save on labor.

    My questions are. What companies would you guys who have used these items recommend? He's not cubic bucks but is willing to spend for quality. Another question is what year rear should I be looking for to put under it? I was thinking a 10 bolt would be fine but dont know which years or widths to start searching for.
     
  2. nobody has replied to this? 60" rear end width, most camaros for the 10 bolt, or my personal favorite, the 55-64 chevy rear is a nice option for a front loader.

    gambino has alot of nice stuff for these cars. even steve sellers was making a super bad*** rear kit. as for the front most ive seen use the fatman
     
  3. Mine has a 10 bolt out of a 70ish Nova or the Pontiac equivalent. Works really well as far as fit.
