"The rear end and the four link is now installed ( TCI said no one had ever tried putting a 4 link in a 1937 pickup truck but I should let them know how I did it!! YEA RIGHT! I'll let you guys know how to do it if anyone needs some help along the way ). The fuel cell is also installed."
I do not know what a 4 link and a fuel cell are? What are they used for? Who is TCI?
Thanks,

A four link is a suspension system that has four bars that join to the frame and axle in four places. The norm is a parallel four link like this: http://www.totalcostinvolved.com/productdet.cfmThe horizontal bar and forward mounts bolt/weld to the frame and the axle is welded into the perches at the other end of the rods. A fuel cell is a type of gas tank. Typically they are mounted between the rear frame rails where the spare tire goes. Here is an example from Summit Racing: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=SUM-293215&view=1&N=700+150+-128260+Hope this helps, Drew | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 1,756 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 1,756 | Nice clear explanation. I will need Drew to explain to me how to rebuild the front suspension and disc brakes on the kit I got with no instructions. Just kidding, I have 1/2 installed but really don't know where the proportioning valve goes. On the front or rear brakes. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 | ( TCI said no one had ever tried putting a 4 link in a 1937 pickup truck I don't think TCI would tell anyone that. They probably sell as many or more 4 link than anyone else. http://www.totalcostinvolved.com/vehicle.cfm

Hmmm, I'm sure someone will help me "see clearly".
