Re: mono leafs under the rear of my c10

I have a set of Cal Tracs designed for a flipped rear, and in my conversation with them they do have a mono leaf that will work. I explained that at the time I was looking a running a Procharged SBC via a Dana 60 and the mono leaf/ Cal Tracs setup. THey told me depending on tire compound that my weak link would be the universal joints if anything and that all the axle wrap would be dealt with by the Cal tracs. Here are a couple of shots during the mock up phase.




You will notice that I don't have the mono leaf in place, as my plans changed a bit for the truck. But what your after is still doable. For me I will be put more time on the street than the strip, so compramised a bit.
