Re: Trailing Arms for a C20

Hey Thanks for the suggestions, I will follow up, Have a couple of leads I am working on now, should not take too much to put it together.

As for the Tranny, I know it's a truck. It is far from the modified car chassis that were built in the 80's and called trucks, It is just that I will never haul with it, or in it anywhere near its hauling capacity. It has enough power to handle an overdrive and cruise nicely down the highway. I tend to modify the final drives on my Bikes as well. Full size Harley’s are built to handle 425 lbs of payload, since I run a solo seat and never haul a passenger, It does not take much to haul my 180 pound carcass around. I modify the final drive to lower RPM’s increase mileage and top end and actually be able to use all 5 gears.

I prefer not to deviate too far from stock, of course I could just hang onto the original rear-end and let it go with it if I sell it.

Anyway, I will take some photos and post them this weekend.

Thanks 'gain for the reply's

-Quinn
