Of course, no problem, but I won't be home until next Sunday.

Re: 67-72 Trailing arm suspension in 1957 Truck

Can someone link or point me in the direction of where to find the axle mount pads that go on the axle tube for 1967-1972 trucks with the truck arm suspension??? Or will the regular 3" pads work??

Thanks

Edit: I found what I was looking for here. It is listed at Early Classic Enterprise as an axle saddle.

Re: 67-72 Trailing arm suspension in 1957 Truck

ok so I just picked up a 67 chevy rear trailing arm suspension to put in my 56 chevy. my questions are, can the front crossmember be flipped upside down? thinking that would help when lowering the suspension. what about a coilover setup, is there a bolt in idea and what weight springs would be needed? Im wanting to change the panhard bar since Im using a 77 chevy p/u 12 bolt and not sure how to mount it to the rearend. also wondering about airbagging it. pros and cons of this and last question is about a rear swaybar. anyone have suggestions on how to mount it? Thanks Robert

I have never messed with a truck arm suspension but, I would imagine upside down and backward is what you would try out.

I'm thinking about putting this suspension on my S10 frame as part of my swap. Does anyone have info on whether on not it would work? I've googled but haven't came up with much....

I can almost guarantee that this would be unique and you won't find any info, however hit up the s-10 sites. Most likely the will have "3-link" or such as custom set-ups. It's just a matter of fabbing a crossmember though, if you have it all in front of you just scratch your head awhile, break out the cut-off wheel, grinder and welder and it's done.
