Call Caltracs abnd see what they might have.
The big trick set up these days IF your still using leafs is MONO SPLIT and a slide a link or Caltrac set-up

They want the rear to squat get a foot print then launch.

So look them up and ask them if they might have a set that could be retro fit to you beast.

We make these Limited units now from Eatons Posi. (Clutch type fully rebuild-able and able to be modified for street or Strip application) 31 spline only

I can also make a whole third member...AND YES .. .they are very expensive but pretty much Bullet proof...

But at least it was completely unrelated to your topic....

You'll likely get better answers with your own thread.

You're welcome.

thnks...Caltrac set-up..is to much $$$,
IM looking at a set on C-list for 50...but says they are for 60-70s mustang. Ill take some measurements. Would the weight of my 57 matter? thnks

i have had 56 and 57 chevs with wheel hop and used lakewood "slapper" bars to cure it.i would think the olds rear suspension is similar,they are somewhat universal. under $200 new.
