1956 Chevy Truck rear end setup question

[Bernman72]

I have a ford 9" rear end I putting in the 1956 chevy truck with 4Link suspention from full tilt. Can someone help me with the degree the rearend should be setting at if any? I have to cut the old lief spring pads off and weld in the new ones for the bars.

I just put in the mustang II in the front with no drop spindles and coil overs all the way around.

Thanks for your help.

its been a long time, but I thought the pinion should be up 2-3 degrees from flat ... I am certain someone with more current knowledge will be along to give input soon.

The pinion angle needs to be parallel with the engine. from 1 to 3 degrees. I can't seem to illustrate it.

Thanks for the help, I will put it @ 2 and use the adjustment on the arms to tune it in later.
