I was wondering why you chose the parallel setup vs the triangulated, and what disc brake conversion did you put on your rear end. Speaking of which, what is your diff? Looks like a GM 10 bolt 8.5".

Thanks, the rear end is out of a S10 Blazer 4X4 and comes with disc brakes and 3:73 gears. Its not very strong rear end but for a cruiser its fine. Its a little bit narrow so i ended up relocating the calipers to a lower position on the backing plate so the would not touch the inner edge of the box. The 4link kit, i just went with what i could afford at the time,
