Looks like a 4 link with an adjustable panhard bar riding on coil overs.

If you're looking to bag it rather than coilovers, I think the new PB rear set up puts the bags inboard the frame so you can run meats this fat.

Do you have any more pictures of that truck? I'd really like to see some shots from the top and from the side.

The_Bulldog: If you're wanting to build your truck similar to that one, be ready to spend some money, especially if you're wanting the 20" Pro Street wheel/tire set-up. My buddy is building a Pro Street '89 Silverado for his kid, and they spent $3500 on the rear wheels and tires alone. Way out of my league!!

I got bags on my '55, which is tubbed, and I wound up doing a cantilever arm suspension so I could have the bags as far outboard as possible for stability. Having a stepside bed presented a whole new set of problems, and the cantilever was the answer. See my build thread below for pictures.

No other pics, wish i did!!! As far as the budget is concerned 3500 just for rims and rubber is pretty crazy. i was looking at this link

and think i might go this route but i need to find out a way to lift me up for those stupid speed bumps, gutters, and never ending florida road construction.

That's exactly what I was talkin about! Does moving the bags inboard like that negatively effect the handling?
