Re: "Like I need another hole in my head" 70 chevy short wide project

Had some time to work on the truck. I braced the notch, installed the super track bar and mocked up the rear sway bar. I flipped the trailing arm brackets. I also had the bump stops mocked up but I think I will use some smaller round ones on the bottom of the notch.

I had planned to use a Camaro rear sway which I picked up at the pick a part. After mocking it up with the notch and the track bar it just would not work. No matter how I arranged it it would hit the track bar bracket, frame or something else. It would work great on a stock or a truck with up to 4" lowering springs. I had a sway bar from the front of a car, Chevelle I think. It will work nicely mounted to the frame and links mounted to the trailing arms.

I hope to receive the front spindles and new ball joints tomorrow. If I do I will start on installing them. I may do some cross bracing and boxing on the frame as suggested by Nolimit in the "make it handle" thread.
