wow man i love the 50-60 model trucks. you picked a good color imo. so your looking into swapping to a LS motor in this...that'd be very cool. are you going to do the hidden A/C system or just run it with the windows down lol

All looks good but a 2 link, and in such a nice truck otherwise?

I would like to run a/c but it's not top on my list right now.


What wrong with a 2 link and anyway called a 3 link.

It is a 2 link, the pan hard bar isn't counted. They get the job done but are the bastard child of link set ups. They aren't the best at power handling, they are very hard on drive line angles, they don't ride the best, they just don't do anything all that well.

A three link would be a much better and fairly easy change and that would just involve another bar at the top of the diff and putting pivot points on the lower bars. You would be much better off.

Again nice truck but I surely wouldn't run a 2 link while spending so much time and money on everything else.
