Conversion from drum to disk rear axle 67 chevy

[colbyw]

I updated a 1967 chevy from drum braked to disk. in the rear of the truck it has coil springs, off the old axle it has a pin (stud) built into the casting from that a bar goes to the fram to help the truck be more firm. when i changed out the axle to disk there is nowhere for this bar to mount. not sure how about getting this fixed. fab up a plat that bolts to the diff cover (use half the bolts) then to the axle as a little extra support using a U clamp. I dont think there is going to be alot of stress on this, we are not going to be pulling anything or putting anything heavy in the back like a camper. I seen this done on an offroad show a long time ago and cant remember how they did it.

Thats the panhard bar and has nothing to do with firmness. It keeps the axle from shifting left and right.

There are panhard bar kits out there.
