triangulated 4 bar
I'm trying to set up my rear suspension on mt '27 T sedan frame and need some ideas. I'm assuming the diff is cast iron (1980 Chev 1/2 ton) so I'm not sure if I can weld to this. I want a triangulated four bar but the space constraints are kinda tight, the uppers would be about 12" and not at 45 degrees more like 60-70. Here's a bunch of shots:

I don't want to move the kick up forward as seat space is at a premium and the axle would look funny if I move it back. Any ideas or input would be great, might even have to go parallel 4 bar, but those would be quite short as well. I've been kinda thinking of making a long bracket that goes across the pumpkin and welds to the axle housings???
Oh yea, I've got coilover shocks and a 383 SBC with AFR heads and the works so it has to be sturdy. Sorry I posted a similar question before but it was on the old site.
Thanks,
Sean.
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
