1960 Rear coilovers, good idea or no??

[72bigred]

I just recently saw a 60 C10 with coilovers in the rear.. It appears the guy fabbed a mount to put the coilover in the stock spring location and deleted his rear shock.. It was odd looking at first, it looks like the pic I added. One up through the frame and the other of course down through the trailing arm. I have not seen this before it interested me as I am involved in a ground up of my wifes 60.. Any suspension guys out there see a problem with this? Obviously it is working on the truck I saw although is it really a good idea?




I have seen where people welded a mount to the side of the rear arms, crossed the frame with a tube and used a coilover vertically down to the arm.. But nothing like this before.
