Four link

I am considering four linking my 68. Does anyone have a recommendation as to a good kit to use?

I went with a TCI kit with coil overs. It was designed for a 53-56 f100. They don't make a specific kit for bumpsides. But after taking some measurements and talking to them we figured it would work. Install was straight forward. I used a 8.8 rear from a 13 mustang. Truck isn't done yet so I can't report on the performance of it.








This is the ride hiegth

Parallel or triangulated?

Regardless, consider Paul Horton's Welder Series: https://www.welderseries.com/Rear-c12959482

Low buck!

I have to admit, I really don't know a lot about four link. Which would you recommend HIO?

For general street use, I recommend triangulated like a GM A-body. For street/strip, I'd go with an equal length four-bar bar because of its significant adjustability.
