    Clark/Larry-

    Can you post any pictures of your rear ends? How are the trailing arm pivots connected to the ch***is? Do you do anything to control side-to-side movement?


    Thanks,
    Ed

    I've seen Larry and Clark, and I have no desire to see their rear ends.

    I'm with dago

    but seriously both trucks run a trailing arm rear suspensions much like a 67 chevy trucks however they used I beams with insert bushings and custom crossmembers. i have a bushing I can show you.. however IMHO you should use your stock style rear springs and lowering blocks.. it would be simple, cheap, and best of all SAFEST.

  6. HEY.... I've got a nice rearend!!!! Just stay away from it!!!!!!
    Seriously Sawzall is right our rears are based on the 60s chevy truck set up. It Is cheap and perfect for airbags. The front of the bars is attached to a crossmember we make out of 2x4 tubing. The front bushings are from the mid 60's chevy's it was designed after. A panhard bar is a must! All this should be done by a certified welder.Here's a pc from Mikey's truck.
