Rear suspension w/ Brian Trick differential installed
Just finished rebuilding the complete rear suspension in the 67. All new control arms, springs, shocks, brakes, etc. I went with PMT fully boxed tubular arms and sway bar kit, along with a W-27 cover from Supercars on a Brian Trick Type 'O' rebuilt axle. I used the Vista Cruiser variable rate rear springs. It has that hot rod rake now, just perfect for adding some fatter rubber in the back. Looks good to me and the land yacht handling is now gone. It's no road course racer, but it goes around a corner a lot more predictably now. Add the Jeep steering box and hopefully I can stop for a while and just drive it. It is addicting though.

nice its really satisfying to completea big project like that and be able to enjoy the returns on it.
I went a similar route last year on my 72, new/rebuilt BT 3:42 posi rear, new moog springs, parts place boxed LCAs w poly, moog rubber bushings in stock UCAs then I threw in a parts place 1" rear sway bar w poly....it really upped the handling quite a bit, I had done a simialr treatment to the front as well
