58 TRUK intro

[_Ogre]

while i had it in the air i took some pictures of the torque bar from the 3rd gen camaro i installed.
the rear end is on stock spring, flipped on top and minus the overload springs.
while i had minimal wheel hop, when i got on the gas the rear end would tilt up and the drive shaft would rub on the rear x-member.
i looked at making it a 4 link, lot of work on a together truck.
you can see in this pic that the rearend housing has 2 bolt bosses built in for the torque bar.



i got a stock 3rd gen torque bar and modified it



originally on the 3rd gen there was a rubber mount that the front of the bar slid into and worked back and forth as the suspension worked up and down
i cut the mount off and welded on a trailer shackle







the torque bar works great, truk is a tire smoking monster
