I am sure Clint will chime in on this as well... but my personal opinion on why they would set it up this way is for packaging purposes. By using a link that bolts to the outside of the rear frame-rails and houses the bag and shock combo, it makes all sorts of room for exhaust routing around the axle housing. It also gives a much cleaner look... less cluttered.

will this work on a long bed

ZBS 64 · 07-09-2007, 12:39 AM

It should,give clint a call at KP components.

Hey Will their bolt on 4-link kit and watts link. Still fit a 67 chevy C-10, SWB?
It says online for 73 and up... but is there much difference in the frames from 67 to 73....
Thanks!

Thanks, Albie

The framerails are the exactly the same. You should have no trouble there. You will likely have to source a trailing arm axle housing or weld on trailing arm perches to your axle.

Huge diffence in the frames. I would wait a little while for the application specific piece or plan on doing some fab to make it work.

yeah thats true but what about gas tank placement since most people mount between the rails...

The tanks/compressors will fit in a number of different locations... leaving room for a rear mount fuel cell between the rails.

Damian · 07-25-2007, 02:09 AM

man this is the best news i heard this year yet.

mlane65 · 08-10-2007, 09:57 PM

just got e-mail back from Clint @KP. Said its still a couple months before 6-link canti is available.

see ten · 09-02-2007, 04:43 PM

I guess that means we all have more time to save our Benjamins!!!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-03-2007, 12:16 AM

Look like I need one of those rear notchs for my 7deuce..

64shortc10 · 09-07-2007, 12:57 AM

Any updates on the 60-72 rear 6-link? I seen it posted in the the new Streetrucks mag. The Porterbuilt rendering of the red 67? drew my attention!

Tony from Norcal

see ten · 10-12-2007, 10:17 AM

What's ballpark pricing for the kit going to look like?

gringoloco · 10-12-2007, 03:58 PM

The other bolt-on 6-links they offer are around $1300. I would ballpark it there. You gonna put yours on the ground, Asa? Or do you have another project brewing?

see ten · 10-12-2007, 04:52 PM

My lil brother just bought enough parts to slap a truck together. He found a swb frame and a lwb body. So far he has less than $500 in it. It's going to be on the ground! Plans are looking like a porterbuilt front end and possibly this 6 link for the back. I may also have a deal coming together after 10 years of hounding an owner on another swb truck. If I manage to bring it home, I'm going to wait and see how his rides and drives and possibly mirror his suspension plans.

gringoloco · 10-12-2007, 07:34 PM

Sweet! I'd like to that one come together...

see ten · 10-15-2007, 04:34 PM

Well my 10 years of hounding has yet to pay off

! I guess I'm just going to be helping my lil bro on his project. I suppose if I really like how his turns out I could find me another one to lay out.

I ordered my notch and bag brackets today. Clint is a nice guy.

jkade · 11-07-2007, 07:07 PM

Got the parts today and luckly they where all still in the box since about 1/2 the stuff was hanging out of it. UPS sux

el curioso · 05-22-2008, 11:56 PM

I Dont Think So If Youlook At The First And Second Pic You Can See There Is A Small Notch And The Bolt Sticking Out From The Oem Mounting Point... I Hope That Made Sence...

bagged69c10 · 05-24-2008, 03:53 PM

I just finished installing the notches on a 69 Suburban and it turned out nice. Good product.

bguild · 06-09-2008, 10:45 AM

Thanks Clint.. I will be calling you fairly soon.. Just need to save up some cash and fix a few issues on my frame.. Question.. I have the stock crossmember where the trailing arms connect too. With this notch nad air ride set up will I have to replace that.. I assume at full dump my drive shaft is going to hit the top of it where it goes through the corssmember..I see CCP sells one that is made for our trucks but can you just modify this one or will the stock be okay. Just need to know before i bolt my cab back on.
