47-54 chevy truck drag race street/strip rear suspension options - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Who is drag racing a 47-54 gm truck? Thinking about picking up a old AD body and doing some racing occasionally. Nothing serious and no plans to tub the truck, dont mind cutting the bed for wider wheel wells though. Would like to keep it on a 28x10.5 slick. Was originally thinking ladderbars and coils overs and a small C notch but curious what others are doing. The leaf spring mounts are directly under the frame rails from what I can see, could move them inboard of the rails and do Caltracs I suppose. Tried to Google and all I could find was street rod type stuff with limited adjustability. Guess I could make my own bars and make them more adjustable. Just curious what the guys with these trucks are doing.
