A bit on the short side, but if the price is right it could be made to work.

Re: 4 link

i will vouch for Porterbuilt....Nathan has to be hands down the best Ive ever done business with. I run a repair shop and Nathan has been always there to help. I have just about all his products on my 70 and Ill tell you that everything is top notch and worth ever penny. I could not be happier to look at this work of art but more importantly the pride taken when parts are produced for our trucks. My truck is being built to last and Porterbuilt Street Rods is the cats meoww.!!! Hope this helps any. ::::::::::MEMBERS ONLY::::::::::::::

Re: 4 link

i changed mine because of room ..... for the air tank, for exhaust, it frees up the center of your frame for other stuff, if you have moved your fuel tank to the back the only other space was in front of the rearend ,between the frame rails
