Clear as mud???[/quote]
Accually I think I got ya, one pivot point, one swing of motion. Simple. So Twin I beam WOULD in theory create its own needed -/+ camber for cornering, as body roll depresses one spring, and lets up on the other? Thus allowing 0 camber ride hight to be ok. I know with A-arm you try to keep the spindles as level as possible through the whole range of motion, so thats why they need some preset neg camber right?

Kinda. Yes, 1 beam will be in pos. camber and 1 in neg. depending on the amount of camber set at ride height, and the amount of "body" roll.

Possibly - depending on what you want to do with the car/truck.

Page 4 of this thread has good pics. It's a 68 but it's basically the same.

Sorry guys, haven't been on here in a while. I've haven't gotten over to his place yet to see the truck yet, so I don't have any pictures yet. He lives about 45mins away so it takes a good chunk of time. I'm curious to see it in person myself, and I owe him some parts from my parts truck if it ever warms up enough here in PA so I can get out to tear it apart. Patience guys....

I did talk to him about it last weekend when he came over for a b-day party at my neighbor's house, and he did mention that he is afraid that it might bottom on the crossmember on large bumps... He said that he has a few inches of clearance, but has yet to do any driving tests with it yet (all of the roads are drenched in salt right now, so it will be at least a month or more before it will hit the street).

Heres my favorite, check this one out. It has since been sold though, and now the guy is famous @ building minitrucks. It was the first bagged one I ever saw. Custom 1977 Ford F150 - Feature Turuck - Sport Truck Magazine
