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. |

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......

Re: truck arm?
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.
Links Hot Rods to Hell: http://www.hotrodstohell.net/truckar...karm_index.htm 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.
