Lets talk rear suspension - technical
Ok - I need a lesson in rear suspension geometry for my 68.
It has the stock trailing arm x pan hard bar suspension. I was visiting a shop today that builds really nice street rods and was showing him some pictures of the truck - he noticed the pan hard bar travels up hill from the rear center section, he seemed to think this was a big issue and effects the way the rear suspension should work. it seems to me that all of our trucks need the pan hard bar needs to travel up hill and not be level. Have I gone goofy? Can some one explain in technical detail how our rear suspension really works and why a pan hard bar needs to travel in some arc other that flat? Many thanks Bill
