Has this been done before?
If so can someone provide any info about it.
Thanks

Early 67-68 C10s have a trailing arm setup, not much different in design from a torque arm...dunno if that is what you are looking for.

nascar uses what is called truck arm suspension. same as the early chevy trucks.

A lot of truck guys call that a 2-link, and Ektensive in Texas does a lot of them. If the arms are long enough, they a 2-link will work. Are you planning on baggin the truck, or just using coil-overs? How come you want to switch to a torque arm (2-link)? How come not a 4-link?

Just to clarify, a torque arm is not a truck arm. A torque arm is a variation of a 3-link. Look into TCI and speedtech and BMR, also griggs uses a torque arm.

Thanks for clarifying that Bryce

Street,
After reading quite a few features and other articles about mustang suspensions. I have found that the torque arm rear set up is very successful for both track duty (street/autoX) and everyday streetability.
I had also read a little info in regards to installing them. Not sure if its true or not but went with it. With a 3 or 4-link you need to find IC and such. As far as I know from the research I have found that you dont need to get that much into detail with a torque arm.

Here is a shot of a torque arm set up. Mainly for the front mount location.
After spending a little time under my tahoe I had realized I have the same two mounts, one tranny and one center crossmember. I was thinking of using the center one for the front mount and using my flip kit lowered shackled for my links. That would make for a simple yet effective install.

Please any opinions on this subject would be much appreciated (Bryce )
