Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Is there a particular reason you want to use a 4-link suspension?

The factory 2-link trailing arm arrangement on 60's-72's works quite well. The biggest improvement can be made by just getting a lower COG (center of gravity).

Air bags are easily adapted & not only ride well, they can be adjusted so you can use your truck as a truck (not that you couldn't do the same w/a 4-link).

trailing arms rule. if you look on the air ride tech website, the airbag setup for the back is about $429. they sell 4 link kits as well.

I agree with Scoti just work with the trailing arms and put in a notch and the rear bag kit bigbluthng suggested and you'll be golden.

Trailing arms are definately the way to go! My friend had a 68 bagged without shocks in the back and it still rode awesome!
