67-72 Independent Rear Suspension Project
      Here are some pictures of the latest project. The rear suspension is a fully bolt in IRS kit using a fabricated 9" housing, 33 spline CV shafts, cam bolts to set rear wheel camber and steering arms for toe adjustment. |

Re: 67-72 Independent Rear Suspension Project
Nice truck... but that sure is a lot of work and coin to "improve" on something (coil trailing arms) that already works perfectly.

Re: 67-72 Independent Rear Suspension Project
That's outstanding job sir! That thing should do well on the auto cross, if you plan to do that!
Ant no factory trailing arm suspension gonna handle like that will, that's for sure.

Re: 67-72 Independent Rear Suspension Project
Pretty slick. My Camaro has irs and it handles quite well for what it is. I’m sure that truck is a blast to drive. I sure hope it’s got a healthy helping of horse power to go with that setup.
