truck arm?

Does anybody on here drag race their truck that has the stock truck arm suspension?
I bought a 70 2wd blazer that I want to make a street strip trcuk and was wondering what all to do to the suspension to make it hook?

Thanks Josh

Re: truck arm?

I would ask "71Dragtruck", it's not just a clever name

I think he even has a page with his full setups listed, but it could be a post I read a while back.

Re: truck arm?

This is where you are going to need to sit down with yourself and ask yourself what you truley want..... A truck arm suspensions can be made to hook up fairly descent but if you are going all out you need to look at installing a back half with an adjustable 4-link so you can manipulate your IC and your PA......

Try the HotRods to Hell website, they have kits to put the truckarm suspension under anything, also there was an article in hotrod magazine about them a while back. I was going to do this to me '84 becuase it was a cheap way but plans have changed.

I couldn't find the article on Hot Rods website, and im not really shure of the month it was published either.

The reason I want to use the stock suspension is because the class I want to run require's it. There is a 67 c10 around here that run's mid 9's witha small block on nitrous that has stock suspension but I dont know how to get ahold of him so I thought this would be a good place to find more info.

Thanks Josh
