Re: Suspension 101
All you need is some Beer and BBQ to make these old trucks run good. Ok here is what I ran on my 65.
-Moroso chevelle front drag springs
-Comp. Engineering 3 way adj. shocks on the front
-Stock rear arms with Rancho shocks
-lowered the front of the rear arms 3" with 3 deg. positive pinion angle
The truck weight was 3065lbs without me in it. I had a 468cid, PG, NOS Big shot plate and the truck ran 5.90s @ 112 mph with 1.29 60'
I then sent the truck off to have ladder bars and coil overs installed. $2,500later it picked up 2 dimes. For what we are doing, all of the checking corner weight, preload on whatever side, instant center, and all of the other b.s. leave that to the prostock guys who are looking for every .001
