Pro Street (non-tubbed) Suspension - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Outlaw72 · 07-06-2005, 01:35 AM

Was wondering if anyone here could help me locate or explain a trick rear suspension for a 72 LWB Cheyenne. It has the stock trailing arm suspension already but I need something that will allow me to hook.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in Advance

http://www.hotrodstohell.net/ The trailing arm set up works well, what you see on this site will be adjustable, to help dial it in......crazyL

Looks like it might be a nice suspension setup. Is it worth the money you spend on it?

Does it come with trailing arms ? I cant tell. Looks like I could convert my leaf truck to a trailing arm truck with the parts supplied.

They have a complete kit to convert your leaf rearend to trailing arm suspension.

It does not come with trailing arms nor will it convert a leaf spring rear to trailing arm. Their kit for the '67-'72 is a "improvement" kit to correct the issues that are present in its current package. For the Camaros/Novas/Chevelles, etc. it is a complete kit. However, if you have a leaf spring rear all you would need is the trailing arm crossmember, trailing arms, lower spring cups and the axle saddles. The kit would have the rest of what you needed. You could get the trailing arms from Stock Car Products or someone on this board I'm sure. Same with the crossmember (which I have one set up with the t/a attach points lowered and welded back to the crossmember which I will be selling as soon as I get it out). Got any questions I can say that Steve (the owner) was great to deal with and always answers my questions when I call (and I purchased my kit almost two years ago).
