This is the rear suspension as I got it, after someone hacked it up installing a coilover/ladder bar setup. They beat the floors in with a hammer until they ripped open, cut holes in the upper floors for the coilovers to mount to the roll bar of all things. I don't know what they were thinking. Thankfully, they didn't cut out the original leaf spring perches and mounts. It took me months of research to get the original setup right, including talking to Wayne Gapp about the car! Funny, once I had removed all the coilover brackets and collected all the correct parts, it just bolted right back in, in an afternoon.

BEFORE as I got it:



NOW back to the ORIGINAL setup!
