I getting ready to put a TCI 4 link and a S10 rearend in my 37 1/2 ton. They only sell the 4 link for the car which the frames are different and the front mounts need to be modified. Has anyone tried this? Any info would greatly help.

Try to keep the bars as level as possible.
If you can triangulate them you will not need a track bar.
I guess the easiest way would be from the C type trucks.
They ran two long bars and a track bar. They ride and handle real nice. But where prone to axle hop if you got them in a bind in reverse.

I'll look into how they had the C type trucks. I guess my biggest concern is the 37 truck has a C channel frame and the 37 car has a I beam frame. Just different enough to couse me a large pain. Thanks for the info underdog.

Chevy C types used "they term" Solid axle - coil spring type.
They also show a 4 bar triangulated, on the right in 4 bar section.
There is lots here for you to think about.
