Hey everyone. My name is Geoff and I live in CA. My project is a 69 Camaro. I'm trying to build my car to both road and drag race. It's still very early in the build but here's a few pics.

Is that a truck arm setup or what?

Nice to see another truck arm setup, we've got them under our 79, too, after a lot of head-scratching and plasma persuasion. Have you gotten to drive it yet? Hard to tell how far along it is in the pictures.

Good luck with everything, I'd love to see some more pics if you have them.

Unfortunately, i haven't been able to drive it yet. It's still quite a ways away from that point. The major set-back at this point is waiting for the motor to be finished. I'll take more pics soon and get them posted. Your 79 seems to be comming along pretty well too. It seems like our intentions are very similar for our car's. Good luck with your project as well.

Cool, I'm real interested in hearing your thoughts on the truck arm once you get some seat time with it. :thumbsup:

Welcome to the site. I am also interested in hearing how the truck arm set up works in both of your applications.

Thanks for the interest. I can't wait to see how it works too! Does anyone have experience with the truck arm suspension?

I do, but it's the ones under our 63 Chevy truck :lol:

I would definitely like to hear from anyone that has them under a car, too. I seem to remember seeing some complaints about them being noisy in my research back before we got ours. We're running solid bushings in, well, everything pretty much, so that's not so much of a concern...
