Chevelle 12 bolt Rear

I have a nice Chevelle 12 bolt rear with new posi and Wilwood brakes.
Is there anyone that has messed with the ears (bushing mounts) on their C10, or should I just leave them alone and weld a pan hard bracket on the rear and call it good. this truck is on air ride without a notch and over 500RWHP.

Are there any other options like ladder bar,4 link, that some have done? Just looking for ideas


Thanks in advance

Re: Chevelle 12 bolt Rear

I have seen a guy who buit tabs off the frame to connect the 4 mounts from a Impala 12 Bolt. He wanted the triangulated 4 bar for his hot street C10, and probably already had that rear end.

He used coil over air bags for springs.

I think the triangulated 4 link with up graded bars is better then a parallel 4 link if total travel is not a concern

Either one can do what you want.

Around here that Chevelle 12 bolt is worth about $1200. May want to sell it ad just build a truck housing.
