1964-1966 - GM trucks with rear coil springs and trailing arms


1963 may be included in there as well, I'm not sure at the moment....



Howdy folks,

I'm just curious as to how it is setup and works with the coil springs and trailing arms.

Do any of you have any experience with this?

Have any good links to tech articles or photos?

NASCAR sure likes the truck-arm suspension. I like it in my '65 C20, had about a yard of pea-gravel loaded and it rode just as well as anything. New Dodge trucks run this type of suspension too.

Here's a tech article I found after a 3 second search:

Had it in my 66 chevy pickup allways rode good had alittle bounce if you hit a bump or something fast like a a dip or rail road track

 

Another fella posted a photo of his rear sway bar setup. It has brackets on the frame rails, then a rod that drops down to the bar, the bar connects to each rear trailing arm.

kinda nifty... if needed.

Go scrounging for a 1968-1972 Camper Special in the wrecking yard. Those have factory rear sway bars.
