  7. Looking at this ladder bar set up and I,m wondering.....If the ladder bars are mounted solid to the rear diff tubes "even though they are heim joints" and mounted to the frame at the front,would the bars tend to bend or snap off when the diff moves straight up and down? The way I see it the front of the bars would move up and down in relation to the rear diff going up and down. That is unless some how the diff tubes turned slightly as they went up and down.I can understand how they stop rotational twist of the housing but I don,t understand how they can last with the up and down travel of the diff with the leaf springs. Someone please school me on this....

    we use a spring shackle on the front of the ladder bar to allow it to move for and aft while the springs go up and down, werks great. or float the rear end .

  9. Got a pic of that set up? I bought a set of swap meet ladder bars and wondered about the installation at the frame end. Thanks in advance!

    Gasser55: that altering job is so good it's hard to tell it was altered. You notice something isn't quite right wheelbase wise but it looks ok. Then you look again and voila. Very smooth job!

    One of my high school buddies built this car in the late 60's. I bought it from his estate and put it back in running condition as a tribute to him. You can read about it on my website.
