thank you. im always updating my site as best i can.
i have a 80 transam 3.42 10bolt 8.5"ring gear rear end(posi-of
course!)255/60-15 i used the smae type as the TA but instead i used 76
skylark springs-they are the same dimensions but teh skylarks had 7
leaves-stronger for the 2000# that goes back there. i also had to install
quad airshocks... i love airshock. it makes my ride height the same no
matter what or who i have with me.
btw-i do have a few contacts in the WA and ID ares that hve panels or know
where they are.... =)
the front suspension is 77 camaro i welded in myself. pretty stock i put it
on up high to lower it then i cut 1/2 a coil (mistake).
the axle i have under my 52gmc is a 69 chevelle 12 bolt 3.31 with 235/75-15,
it also uses camaro springs and i have a 4" backspace on both trucks on 8"
wheels in the rear. 7" up front with 4" bkspc on the truck and 4 3/4" bckspc
on the panel to clear the fenders. the 52 is stock front end with disc
conversion.
you can get rear springs and axles like the camaro off any of the following
cars:
buick skylark and like
olds cutlass? and like
camaro, TA, firebird, nova.... almost any chevy rear leaf car from 73/4-81
hope this helps!!
