Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
I agree that the C5 setup would not only be easier to mount, it would also put some weight in the rear where it's needed. My problem is the torque tube. I found one custom install over the years (in a 'Cuda, no less), and they made adapters to run regular u-joints and a driveshaft. But I can't find anything commercially to compensate or replace having to section the torque tube. C5 rear ends are cheaper than C4s a lot of times, and you get a T-56, so it would be great if one could figure out how to make them work easily.

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
Hey Rokcrln, I've been checking out this thread and Frizzle Fry's as well and can't seem to get the idea out of my head now. That being said I have a question for you.
I'm in the process of building my 69 SWB and it is getting a custom frame. The factory SWB trailing arm frame will need a new home once I'm done and I understand that it is right around the same length as where you ended up on this project. Do you think I could reuse the SWB frame for this purpose? What would the challenges be?

Re: LFD's 4dr Tahoe Build
You can use the SWB frame. You'll need the rear frame horns from a burb frame or fabbed equivalent.
