This is a wishbone/ three link rear suspension setup I built a couple of years ago for a '55 Chevy truck. I chose to go this route as there was not alot of room for a Watts Link or a conventional Panhard bar.





The center part of the wishbone that attaches to the rear end is free to rotate from the "Y" part that attaches to the chassis.

The truck has air ride, and 31 x 18.5 x 15" Hoosier tires. It rides and handles pretty awesome.

The rear end is a Ford 9".

Because of limited space, I mounted the bottom of the shocks on the two lower radius rods. I have used this method on circle track cars and it works great.

Nice work! looks a lot stronger than some of the lower wishbones on drag cars. Is it going to plant the inside rear around the corners? Thanx Trevor
