67 need help trailarm/coilover
Have a 67 snb chevy that I am in process of building. Woking on the frame now. I want to pro-street it going to run a 496/350 3000 stall Looking at using the trailarms and coilovers. Would like to know if it hooks up good, plan on running on the track occasionally, have seen different versions of how it is set up, bolted up on the trail arm mount or behind the axle more centered in the frame. Have not decided on rearend yet, has 12 bolt now. Would like to fit 15X14 wheel and a 30 or 31 tire. Any help and pics would be appriciated.

Re: 67 trailarm/coilover
You can fit that much wheel and tire in there without touching the frame. I have my coilovers behind the axle. I have been pretty fast with trailing arms coilovers and an anti roll bar. Depending on the weight of the truck I would do either a 400 or a glide. The 350 won't live without a 300 dollar sprag.

Re: 67 trailarm/coilover
Cool I would like to put some good size meats under the truck it makes the attitude to me. Do you have some pics of your setup I want to do it right the first time, what spring rate and type are you running? Not for sure if the trans has the good sprag or not its running behind the motor now in my 77 swb with 410 posi no traction whatsoever!!! I got the truck in a trade from a buddy before he got into anymore trouble with it......

Re: 67 trailarm/coilover
They are Classic performance Trailing Arms, It was the Kit where they send you a New set of arms and the Cross Member. Seemed to Be Fairly Straight forward .They recomended drilling out these 40 Yr old Frame rivets, After spending 20 Minutes on The first one, My Tip of the week would be,Get a Plasma torch and cut the heads off the Rivets, Took about 10 Minutes with that and a center punch to Knock them out,To do them all.----On The spring Rate Ill Have to Look Later, So Far it hasnt been on the ground yet,They Came with a kit from Chassis Fab at their recomendation.I Guess its yet to be determined if they are Right.

Re: 67 trailarm/coilover
man that looks good I like that setup, thanks for the pics. I'm going to start looking at the parts and pricing. what spring rate are you running? Been looking at kevins tread to get some more good info. At this point I can do easily, still get to everything I am still pretty much frame, recently put all new front suspension on it, converted of course to disk all new brake SS lines and hoses, rehung axle and suspension so I could atleast move it around.
Thanks for the help...keep it coming!! never to much knowledge. Brent

Re: 67 trailarm/coilover
If There is 2 pounds of difference Id be Surprised, But Structurally, The CCP Ones Would be far superior to stock, Rigid Stuff. This Truck was a 6 cyl. with a 3 on Tree, No PS or AC, It Doesnt seem Like a Real Heavy Vehicle. Whats a Guess on Weight with an alum Headed BBC? I am Thinking 3500. Any One with any Simular Stuff Know a weight?

Re: 67 trailarm/coilover
I'm in the same process but, i made my own ladderbars, coilovers and 1/2 tubs,9" ford. i hav'nt found ladderbars long enough so i made my own 48" long. with heim joints and all the brackets it will be 52-53" long. this should put me 1 or 2" fwd of the stock front pivot location. thats very important because that adds to rearwheel weight as well as battery and fuelcell relocation to the rear of the bed. check out my build thread Biulding the Damn Yankee. it's still in the early stages but there are pics of the ladderbars,brkts,rear, cell etc. the guys here are damn knowledgable and super at sharing it! straight up GOOD PEOPLE!!! good luck v/r phipp13
