actually lupe, those photos help me alot. i think its eigher going to be between the 4link setup and the setup roadrace posted. thanks

ok, i cant find anywhere that sells those 4link bars, i can make the mounting brackets myself, i just need bars.
any links would be appreciated. oh, lupe, is there a ladder bar mounted under there or is it mounted directly to the stock chasis? i might just build one like the ones in this link, if it works out good, sell them as a kit. http://www.swracecars.com/rearframes.asp#pro |
Lower bars are mounted to the stock mounting area. Uppers are mounted to the body seems and are mounted to 18sq" plates.
Tubing is made by afco. |
Hahaha, of course you didn't notice any difference in handling Eric ... you take all corners at half the posted speed ;)

The truck arm suspension will handle better that a 4 link that doesn't have compliant bushings. When one you try to lift one wheel on a 4 link that doesn't have equal length, parallel links the suspension trys to twist the axle housing. Dirt track racers get rid of the bind with bird cages. A 3 link is also good for suspension articulation. You can feel good an red neck with a 3 link since NASCAR Nextel Cup runs 3 'em.

how much would a coilover set like that cost?

If you can't find anything that way give www.stockcarproducts.com a visit but you'll be better off finding someone local. Don't bother making brackets unless you need something special. Brackets are cheap. aluminum tubes steel tubes brackets |
Yes, I bought my aluminum afco tubing from a local circle track race car shop. I also bought all my heim joints their too.

josh, do you happen to have photos of how the truck trailing arm suspension is setup?

Thanks for posting that Nihilanthic. I was looking for that very site, but couldn't find it myself even having been there before.
I forgot to mention that their stuff is a bit spendy. I was looking at this web site for ideas, but not for products. I'd grab an original set of trailing arms from a 1960-1972 Chevy pickup and build my own crossmember. The mounting tabs and such can come from cheaper circle track suppliers. The trailing arms might need to be shortened, but that's a lot easier than starting from scratch or paying $220 each. |
ok i can tell how the setup works there. im definatly going to call aroudn to junk yard and see what i can find. anyone know the length the solid axle would have to be, from the hub part (where the wheel studs go into) to the other hub part. i might have to shorten mine down a bit. im looking into my suspension tomorrow, to see how i would like to do it. for the rear the measure ments i got were 59 3/4 long. with the tires with pressure on them.
i pulled the solid axle the other day, its the 489 non posi with 2.76 gears. |
