I am curious to know what some of you hot rodders are doing to make these trucks handle. I know I am changing the rear suspension around. Not that I doubt the truck arm suspension, most of us know they are running a similar set up in Nascar, but it's to make more room. I plan on doing something similar to what is in my Camaro http://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14014

I would mount the LCA's under the frame rail and make a new simple crossmember for the 3rd link. I'm doing this to make more room under the bed. The 63 is going to be my tow truck so I would like to put a fuel cell in back and mount a compressor and air tank under the bed to run air tools at the track and work the bags.

I mainly want to know what is out there for the front end. Will other things like Camaro front suspension work on it (UCA's and LCA's)?

Thanks in advance.

Don't know if this is a help or not but I am air bagged all around with 1 1/4 sway bars front and rear and I handle like a champ. good shocks also help.

I agree with Gazim. These trucks have a good front end. I use the big heavy duty shocks from Monroe (napa) & a sway bar.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
