68 suburban,
The trailing arm plates only being on c20 and c30 would make sence, concidering this is a pic of a c20. the c10 I used to have didn't have them. so I'll buy that.

Stepside,
Unsprung weight huh? got any pictures of a properly lightened factory trailing arm? would like to see that. how much weight did you put back on with strenthening it at its stress points?

67 LS1
