    With a fabed bracket a late 60s truck MC fits in the stock location splitting fronts and rear, no booster!! Check my build thread on my '50 I have a link to the original thread on "how to" looks like a good project! Just keep the rats away :)

    Just a word of caution. A fully welded together two link will eventually break apart. You really need to have u bolts or some sort of bolted junction with bushings connecting the link bars to the rearend to allow for slight flexibility to absorb the tension from the constant motion of the suspension. Without it, metal fatigue will eventually cause the welds to fail or the metal around them to tear. I've seen it happen several times.

    I'm already ordering 4link..I didn't really like how 2link travels..has my bags binding and looks like I would have issues later..not to mention I'm running 28 in tires so clearances are to tight for this roll that I'm getting with the 2 link..any input on 4link bar lengths?
