I was looking at the 3 link setup but i didnt like how it mounted to the cover and ran across this.

Any one used or seen one like this?

I installed one of those watts links with a 6 link air bag setup on my buddies 03 silverado recently. Its very sweet.

Lots of good information guys...so for my 65' application, to run a 3 link, would I have to custom fab some stuff, or are their companies that make a conversion kit...What kits/systems out there would you all recommend that will require the least amount of custom fabrication, yet allow very good performance?

Ya know, I've always wanted to build an old pickup with the engine / drivetrain in the bed. To me a short box 65 would prove to be a better candidate for such a project compared to the 67+

It looses it's function as a pickup, but most rods do. And it wouldn't be very weather safe unless it could fit under a tonneau cover. But it would be unique, you could build a nice flashy engine with some cool stacks type induction and really turn heads when you pull the front wheels off the ground with light throttle.
