Thanks again to lakeroadster for the modeling and input. I've seen his work elsewhere on the board and it's great info.
You are refering to a "Watts Link". Way overly complicated IMHO for a street truck, but they are very cool. Here's some links to threads:

And you are welcome. Glad to help when I can.
