Re: 4 link decision
[QUOTE=dsraven;8992318]I was just going to mention the old 67-72 style trailing arm rear suspension.
I guess you need to figure out what you want to do with the truck and how you want it to ride. also what you have for a budget to buy suspension parts with. some diffs with the cast iron centre can be a little more difficult to install a triangulated 4 link due to the centre section being hard or impossible to weld to compared to a stamped steel centre section. that also limits your choices. really the reason to eliminate the leaf springs is to eliminate the axle/spring wrap or wheel hop that occurs when doing burnouts or racing.
A lot to consider. Thats why I was looking at kits made for these trucks. Designing my own four link is way beyond my fab skills and time availabilty. On second thought... rebuilding spring hangers welding on perches and going with Posie springs is my plan B.
