Best 4 link setup for a 1950 panel

I have a 1950 chevy short panel. I am going to bag it and want it to lay out. I know the frames are fairly narrow. Was wondering if a triangulated 4 link or wishbone or... Would be best. I am also thinking about using tapered sleeved bags or if there is any other recommendations.

Doing a triangulated four link on that narrow frame might be hard to get the upper links triangulated enough. I would do a 4-bar and a panhard, with the sleeve bags behind the axle.

check out our FatBar kits. the 47-54 frames taper out, so the frmae mounts need to take this into concideration.
